After listening to Dave Winer’s voicemailcast today, I decided to create my own in response. I used Little Outliner to create a set of show notes (link), the podcast is shown below. Let me know what you think…anyone, anyone at all….

Recently, Dave Winer mentioned his Little Outliner software (it appears that John Gruber tweeted about looking for a good cross-platform outliner, and Dave jumped into the thread). I spent some time trying Little Outliner again earlier this year when Dave Winer was promoting it. I like the tool a lot (just like using the outliner in Frontier). However, the storage of the files is on his server (although you can set up the app to have them on your server). Also, Dave hosts and supports the app, but he is just one person…although there are many one person apps in the world.
So, what other outlining apps are there? Frank McPherson writes that he is using Little Outliner, Dynalist, and Roam. Jack Baty kept switching between Org Mode and Roam, and has settled on Roam. I am playing around with Org Mode, and I am enjoying learning the program. This week, I found out there is a Roam clone called Foam. It is AMAZING how people see a product and can’t wait to make their own version of it.
As a throwback, I used Java Outline Editor a number of years ago, The interface is like Little Outliner and Frontier. However, it was last updated in 2013, so not exactly keeping up…
