... and turns into Writing Outliner again.
Here a very recent updated screenshot concerning its development. At today, no timetable for its beta version or final release.

Yes, to give the developer, Edwin, his due, he listened very carefully to the feedback about WordOutliner and to how the users are using WritingOutliner, and made sure he took it all on board for his new version (fortunately, of WritingOutliner, not WordOutliner). Development is slow, but it’s great that he’s still working at it!

I bought an early copy of Writing Outliner. In those early days it had many rough edges, but I don’t regret the purchase. It’s within my means to buy writing software of modest cost, and each sale means more writer’s software will get developed.
From email dialog with Edwin Yip back in those days, he’s a good guy and very interested in the usefulness of his product.
I’d go back to it if I still used Microsoft Word for anything.

It was not an ironic statement. Just a fact.
I also confirm Edwin’s excellent attitude. He is responsive and eager to know user feedbacks.
Unfortunately, many Robinson Crosue developers face difficulties along the way, and some Friday’s help does not always resemble the one that appears to the novel.
This may explain the delays. Merit to him of not giving up.
