The original inspiration came from Todoist.com, which is not an "outliner" but has similar functionality for managing tasks. I worked on this and a few other things for myself back then but never got around to sharing with the community, something I have been trying to rectify recently starting with the 2 stories work. Recently I've been seen multiple people ask for functionality that I would best describe as "indentable, drag and drop bullets" and been surprised that there aren't any working solutions being shared, as all the functionality to do it is already present in TW. So that moved this to the top of my list and inspired me to clean up my code, make it more general purpose and share it, to hopefully get others started down the same path. Otherwise I might have waited until I finished up work on my to do list app. So I am extremely happy that others are on the same track and would be delighted to collaborate, in fact I would deem it a bit tragic if we didn't, since the end goals seem to align so well. You might all want to be thinking now about whether there will be a way to > copy multiple nodes from one tiddler and paste them in a separate > tiddler...select and right click? Select and copy? You can drag and drop a node and its children at the moment. I'll keep your idea in my mind but there are more fundamental design decisions that I need to make first. Like Bimlas, I am not sure I've made the best decisions regarding architecture and design. What I have worked great as a to do list app where you never interacted with those tiddlers outside the app UI. But most TW users expect to be able to interact with their tiddlers as usual, regardless of how they were created or whether they are bullets in another tiddler, which complicates things. If we were to accept the limitation of only deleting bullets via the parent tiddlers, and that text in bullets wont behave as we expect in filters, this is basically already usable.
