More on Linux (so okay, not strictly relevant to outlining - perhaps)

To my knowledge there aren’t any “Linux Outliners”. If you can install Vim or Emacs you could use their outline packages, though. Can the Chromebook run Java apps, like zkn3 (Daniel Luedecke’s Zettelkasten app)?

What about Notecase Pro, TuxCards, Vimoutliner, Scrivener, Mindraider, Ultra_Outliner - just the first few a simple Google search brings up. And they all seem to be alive.

Ok, but since Dr. Andus uses Windows and wants to CRIMP with Linux software I only considered outliners that run on Linux but not on Windows, which—to my knowledge—are none.

- Notecase Pro is multi-platform
- TuxCards looks the opposite of alive to me (last updated in 2010)
- Vimoutliner is a Vim package which I suggested in my reply
- Scrivener on Linux is dead as far as I know. It was a community port from the beginning and doesn’t have official support.
- MindRaider doesn’t look to active either. The repo moved to GitHub but there are open issues about broken exports from 3 years ago (opened by the author himself)

But the MindRaider author seems to work on a new project (http://www.mindforger.com/) which is supposed to be a “thinking book” and “markdown IDE”. Hard to say what it does exactly, though.

Ah, I see.
I assumed he wanted Linux software he can run on a Chromebook - no matter if it’s available on Windows or not. But we’re only guessing :-)
