A burst of development energy in a number of directions recently. And things are starting to self-organize towards the new ecosystem. Today’s exciting news : OWL makes a very nice desktop app, thanks to Electron. Here’s the github repo. I’ll be doing more testing, compiling, packaging this shortly. So that even non-geeks can play with …

Dave Winer: Andrew wants a home page
OK. At this point I’m now officially confused by the Dave Winer road-map / strategy. I’m sure it’s evolving and exploratory. But Dave’s productivity means that I’m no longer keeping up with how this is meant to go down. So we had an outliner. (Fargo). And then an open-sourced version of the editor (Yay! Concord). …
OWLdroid fixed, thanks to BTSync
Good news. The latest version of BTSync actually lets me specify which folder on my Android tablet I want to sync. That means I can explicitly tell it to sync. the OWL directory that OWLdroid uses by default. (Somewhere between updates of Android and BTSync last year, this facility got lost.)

▶ OWL Demo on YouTube
Been meaning to do a video demo of OWL for a while, to make it clear what it really is. Today there was some Twitter discussion of Fargo + TiddlyWiki + syncing so I had to drop a link. And decided that it was better to have a rough and ready video example than to …
Questions for 2014 : #2 Project ThoughtStorms
Second in a series of questions occupying my mind at the beginning of 2014. Which may (or may not) inform what I’ll be working on. 2) What About Project ThoughtStorms? Unlike the first question in the series, this one is relatively light. It’s obvious that OWL is the new SdiDesk. And where my private personal …

Outliners, WTF?
Alert readers of my recent post on writing in wiki who followed the link to the old SDI Philosophy post may have noticed that I said : So what’s with OWL? Well, er … yes … the truth is, I am now using OWL very heavily. Pretty much every day. And I am putting to-do …
