The amount of different freeware (GPL etc) has grown. All around the web
there are download centers ranking software. But, still the description part
usually is rather weak.
If a software is reasonably stable (totally stable) and without impossible
interface ranks has little importance. The question is more like for whom it
is suitable?
Around wich working aproach is it built? What is the problem it solves
compared to it's competitors?
- Can the software do X ?
- Does it actually rationalize the work with X ?
Sometimes it's regarded as negative to criticise, but perhaps the judgement
on software design should be harder... It may be a good thing for all.
I'm not a pro, but as far as I have seen the crusade for new features, new
and creative ideas, but still a intuitive interface... is weak, or even
nonexcisting.
In that aspect Sudden View is interesting although with strange rights.
Perhaps it will inspire others.
Besides the Novel Essay Pad written about earlier I would like to see a new
creative tool.
1) Imagine that you draw some keywords on a blank paper. Short visible names
w hidden notes, possiblities for dates or order numbers.
2) You then define each note via a properties dialog. Properties can be
changed att anytime. Choose properties to be active. Frames set, frame
color, data entries etc.
3) move the notes around (like a floor-planner or Draw program). in trees,
cirkles, organisation schemes etc. Just as a drawing.
4) change, remodell each note including such as priority "color", numer
etc.. Redirect frames connections to other boxes with "drag & drop". Connect
to one or more other boxes w. a click.
5) export (almost like compiling) this into a) outliner b) stright txt-doc
....or c) project plan on calendar-dates lines. w. circle reference notes
/arrows or alike.
6) when you get a sudden idea, open a sticker note from the tray, write down
your notes to remeber and save. Next time you open your Note Scheme the
Sticker is there to rememer, edit and put into existing scheme.
........it would be as smooth as drawing on paper, but editable as the
fastest paint program. The best of two worlds!
This would be a ultra flexible and very intuitive tool for anyone who has
worked with Draw applications (SVG's). It would also have some likeness to
MS Word plugin, "Organization Plan" (is that the right name?) and or Draw
cartoon dialogs. That was the harassment reflexions for this time.
Greetings folks!
