Using any of these Outliners ONLINE?

As a fellow crimper, I naturally have 25TB of note-taking software. Okay, a slight exaggeration. I mentioned the other day here that I have really been finding Alfons Schmid’s Notebook a solid choice for what I use it for. I haven’t even felt a need to use the iOS app yet, I am working with just the Windows program.

I not only keep notes with software (use several), but also write and want to keep many long-form essays under categories. This is where Schmid’s Notebook really shines. The last few times I have opened this program, I have wondered about how nice it would look online. Again, I’m thinking of a site full of essays that are so easily laid out like Notebooks For Windows. Since each “note” is just an html file, I’m wondering if that would make it fairly easy to code this as an online program and then host it from a shared web host like Dreamhost, etc.

If you have a copy, open it up and imagine how it would look online as a repository for essays under several subjects and child subjects. I am thinking it wouldn’t take much to do this because of how it is coded now with straight html files.

Thoughts?.....oh, I’m hoping Alfons will actually name the program “Schmid’s Notebook.’ The name “Notebook” is just too generic to be able to discuss, tell others to find on Google, whatever without it getting lost in the sea. Even “Alfons Notebook” is catchy and would be much better (imo). It’s a very worthy program. If you haven’t tried it, you should give it a try, you get a 30-day free trial and then $22 for unlimited notes. The concept is amazingly simple. You know you want too - give it a try! :)

Thanks everyone - and don’t forget about the free stuff over at TGS Labs. Everything is now free and they’ve released universal codes on the site. They obviously aren’t going to update any of the products - but it’s still a bargain.
