Outlinr FAQ

  • What IS outlinr?
    • A simple web app for creating outlines.
    • A personal project by Morgan Schweers, creator of JBidwatcher.
  • Why create Outlinr?
    • Because there are no good outliners for Windows.
    • Because as much as I love OmniOutliner, I don't always have my Mac with me.
    • ...and when I do have OmniOutliner, it's not multi-user, much less multi-platform multi-user.
    • Sharing shouldn't mean 'emailing'.
    • Because I'm a programmer, and coding up stuff to scratch my own itches is what I do.
    • After 8 years of dealing with constant uncertainty with eBay, I wanted a project that I mostly control the variables on.
    • I love programming in Ruby and Rails more than Java these days.
  • Are you going to charge for it?
    • Yes, eventually.
      • There will be a free tier, but the advanced features will be for-pay.
      • It will be inexpensive.
    • Why not advertise / Google Adsense / Whatever ?
      • Using services like those require that they be provided 'context', i.e. the content of the pages on which the ads will appear.
      • I would prefer to keep user content secure and unexposed except as the user themself wants to share.
      • I may consider advertising on free users pages.
