Re: Time travel in Leo

You might want to look at Meld, a diff tool written in python with excellent visualization of changes. A while back I was trying to give leo the ability to let me "slideshow" the lines of thinking in writing a piece of code, from psuedocode to stubs, to turning the stubs into working code.

Re: Time travel in Leo

Thanks for explicating the way you think, and your quest for tools to support that. Personally, I do find diffs and versions useful, to some extent, for some purposes; perhaps it's just what I'm used to. That said, I think answering questions like "Why was this set of changes made?", "How

FYI, just a personal perspective on this: (Don't take this as advertising for SVN -- mostly reflections on time-related tools I've found useful in practice.) I'm still using Subversion through TortoiseSVN. "Time travel" things I find useful there: * The log, of course. Tortoise provides

A couple of links related to "versioning" just in case they serve as an inspiration: http://coreobject.org/technotes/ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmpaAunTEQ0) https://github.com/mirage/irmin (http://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2015/04/28/cuekeeper-gitting-things-done-in-the-browser/) This

Re: Time travel in Leo

Only tangentially relevant: The versioning idea I had working briefly and am still aiming for, I consider 'spatial' as apposed to a time travel notion. I had buttons labeled 'Left', 'Right', 'Up', and 'Down' The idea is the different versions are next to each other instead of before and after. A

Time travel in Leo

I'll be working on pyflakes for at least several more days. As I do so, I am struck by how important the clone-find-all (cff, cfa, cffm) command are: they provide exactly the kind of search-related views that Leo needs. For me, cff is the workhorse. To my knowledge, these commands exist in
