Hi All, There's a new concept for an IDE going around. It's called bubbles IDE... making a splash. From slashdot: covered on hacker news too http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1181742 *A team at Brown University has developed an IDE for Java called Code Bubbles that makes a fairly radical departure from current IDEs — it is based on fragments instead of files<http://www.cs.brown.edu/people/acb/codebubbles_site.htm> . * Some ideas useful for organizing text too (LyX could adopt). The basic idea: Mindmap + IDE = great
The way I write in LyX uses many files. In many editors there's a clumsiness of going from one file to another and then back to the original. This bubble idea could go a long way. I thought I'd drop it here. LyX has the best outliner I know of, but it'd be good to keep an eye on new concepts. Best, -Jose Jose Quesada, PhD.
