#12I couldn't figure out how to delete an item. Also kept getting "you have 1 synced document" growl notifications on Mac. Other than those issues, this looks to be really useful!
Click on the wedge in front of the item to be sure you're in structure mode. Then hit Backspace, or Cmd-X to cut.
This kind of stuff is explained in the Outliner Howto.

Glad you like it -- it is really useful. ;-)

#13Those who remember this family of Software might see some similarity ;-) : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Userland_Software#Frontier Just look at the article for protocols that they introduced and popularised. There's lots of other cool stuff under the hood that you probably won't notice at first, like: - It's a not just an outliner but it's also a outlined chat/collaboration tool. - It's not just an outliner but it's…
I really appreciate the enthusiasm, as co-founder of the company and one of two developers of the product.
However, you can't at this time edit full JavaScript apps in Fargo, you can run single lines of code using Cmd-/.
We do plan to make it a JS development tool, we use it that way ourselves, but first we want to release the server-side component.
It is today a very good workgroup tool. Here's a doc that explains how to set it up for a workgroup.

#14FYI, the keyboard shortcuts on http://littleoutliner.com/ seem to prevent me from using cmd+opt+I or cmd+opt+U when the window has focus. cmd+opt+J works though.

#15way to aggressive - installing before reading? no thx, no matter how useful it could be or not! BAD PRACTICE
You can most definitely read about it before installing.
We have two buttons, one takes you to a product backgrounder and the other takes you to Dropbox. No one forces you to go one way or the other.

#16Clunky at best, especially via Smartphone.
No clue why I would use this over Evernote - which has Android, iPhone, Web Browser, and Windows Apps - all pointing to the same dataset in the cloud.
This app keeps forcing me to allow Dropbox.
Might be cool after a few revisions - right now seems like Alpha stage work.

#17I've been using Fargo since it was launched and highly recommend it.
I use it every day for jotting down quick notes, keeping a work journal, as well as planning out larger projects.
There's already an active community of programmers and writers using it to do some pretty interesting things. And the guys behind it are constantly listening to user feedback[1] to build functionality to match how people are actually using the product.
If you're hesitant about connecting to Dropbox, give http://littleoutliner.com/ a try. It uses the same outliner code as Fargo, but uses your browser's localStorage for the storage mechanism. It's really pretty cool.
If you do decide to give Fargo a try, make sure to open the Community Feed (Docs > Community Feed). If you can't figure something out after going through the very thorough documentation[2][3], feel free to shoot us a question.

I use Workflowy as well, and Fargo didn't feel quite as convenient to me. One thing in particular I noticed was that moving an item to the same level as its parent is easier in Workflowy.
So I'm sticking with Workflowy for now. I just wish it allowed me to add multiline leaf items!

Thanks for the kind words Eric! :-)

Workflowy is great.
In Fargo, if you want to move an item to the same level as its parent there are four ways to do it:
1. Shift-Tab.
2. Cmd-L.
3. Drag it to the left with the mouse.
4. Choose the Move Left command from the Outliner menu (useful on tablets and phones).
