I like the part where you can do calculations like in classic spread sheet apps, but visualize what your are doing, instead of hiding it behind formula fields. (see this screenshot: http://strlen.com/treesheets/docs/images/screenshots/screens... ) But functionality and especially usability of this application is quite limited. It feels more like a proof of concept, than an application for daily use.

My understanding is it's written pretty much only for his own needs, so I'd imagine usability is fine for him.

He's on here (username strlen) but doesn't comment much - maybe he'll chicken me in.

Reminds me vaguely about another piece of open source software that I tried a few years ago; the Leo Editor. An Outliner, Editor, IDE and PIM written in Python. Cross-platform too. https://leoeditor.com/ the homepage of the program, with screenshots. https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor There's a Wikipedia article about it too even. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_(text_editor) Leo means Leonine Editor with Out…

One of the best things about Leo was the tree-view outline where nodes could be 'cloned', giving multiple ways to drill down to the same info.

Typically my Leo file would be organised both by project and topic, and at the top cloned nodes of my current priorities.

I can't find a really important detail on the website or github - and haven't been able to easily find it - how is the underlying data stored?

It looks like it might be a custom format, which might make sense for the project, but is unfortunate for a broader accessible knowledge-base and programmable integration - plain text allows you "grep", sqlite allows you SQL.

The discussion of this being an org-mode mindset kind of GUI definitely appeals to me. The arbitrary hierarchy of data/knowledge in org-mode works really well for me. I tried a bunch of note-taking apps until org-mode, and it was the second one that just "worked" for me (Trilium Notes and Obsidian were the previous best options for different reasons).

But... I'm an Emacs convert just for the purposes of org-mode, and I'm finding a lot of Emacs specific quirks and issues that I don't really want to spend time fixing - but customizing until the quirks are your own preferred quirks seems to be the entire culture of Emacs.
