I have not tested it yet, but Zettlr looks interesting:

The developer describes it as: “A supercharged markdown editor that focuses on researchers in the arts and humanities”.

(Not an outliner per se, but relevant given ongoing discussions of similar editors.)

Thanks for that. You’re right that we talk about many writing tools here, as well as organizing. For me, the “outliner” hook for markdown is folding. Am I correct that this software does not offer that?

Good point. I just installed it, and it seems more simplistic than I expected, although it’s still in early development, so worth keeping an eye on.

I’m traveling, so only have phone and Chromebook. How is the speed? Responsive?

I hope the developer’s summary of his software isn’t true:

“Simply put: Zettlr is the get-together of the best features of existing solutions while enhancing the bad!”
