In the “one text file… to rule them all” thread Mark Nevarrik introduced an app called Indigrid (https://innovationdilation.com/index.html).
It looks promising but there is no useful documentation, the app crashes, there is no “New document” nor a “Save as” command, the “New column” command does not work the way I (and obviously others in this forum) expect. I must confess I do not know what to do with Indigrid and how to use it.
@Mark: Enlighten us.

I just gave it a go and have the same reaction as you, Franz. I read the developer’s manifesto about the app, which sounds good and made me expect it to be more refined than the current app, which seems more like it is in its Alpha stage.

Agreed. I too expected more refinement.
The implementation of “columns” reminds me of Brainstorm.

I don’t think anyone wants a side of philosophy with their software, especially when the software being philosophized about doesn’t work.
Here’s a shorter manifesto:
1. Figure out what the software is supposed to do.
2. Make sure it does that, every time it’s used.
3. Tell or show others how to use it.

Auto-saves to a Sqlite database in its own application directory.
Each indent can become or be shown in its own column (right-click → new column).

Very error prone, I think to specific characters.
Basically an outliner where you can view sections of your list side by side in columns.
