Google Labs has just added a simple browser-based outliner mini-app called “Tasks” which is available from within Gmail. See link below for details and how to get to it:

Very simple and definitely beta, but a promising option for those looking for a clean, fast web-based outlining capability for notes & lists…something I’ve been looking for for some time. Check it out.

A big thanks to Google…let’s encourage them to continue developing this very cool capability.

Dan -

If it’s a simple browser-based outliner with a clean interface, you might want to check out an app I accidentally stumbled on this week:

It’s called “Checkvist” and it can be accessed at http://checkvist.com.

It’s actually pretty compact and useful, and I especially like the fact that it can export OPML, which shows me that the developers have their ear on the world of outliners. It’s ideal for brainstorming, since it is designed for rapid keyboard entry/access and even puts the keystroke list to the right of the outliner pane. Amazing what a big difference this makes for learning the already-intuitive keystrokes in Checkvist.

Check it out - it’s free and might meet your needs…..
