Isn't there a lot of overhead to spawning a new process every time? I wonder what that cost is relative to the cost of generating the image.

I'm curious what people think about this.

Thank you for these suggestions.

I haven't thought about using a CalDAV server for this at all actually. How do you envision that working?

The backend of this is pluggable so it can use other datastores.

Thank you for the suggestion and the feedback! I will do it tomorrow. I just have to decide if it should be a separate context menu item. If you have any other thoughts please let me know.

It's great to see you agree on the importance of this area!

I believe that when people have tools that allow them to visualize their thoughts they can become more rational as well as more productive.

I like emacs org-mode too. I would like to add functionality to CrushPaper that is similar to some aspects of emacs org-mode. But, first I need more feedback on the current iteration.

Thank you for the reinforcement!

Thank you for trying to explain. I think I still don't understand though. Would you mind explaining it a bit more?

And thank you, I'm glad you like it!

You're welcome! But I have to admit that I am curious why you thank me for that.

I like that project!

I wrote most of CrushPaper before finding out about Workflowy or HackFlowy, but I tried to take a different path from HackFlowy.

CrushPaper is hopefully easy to deploy because it is a single executable JAR.

CrushPaper is hopefully easy to contribute to because all of the server code is in Java.

CrushPaper has unit tests. I am always surprised when people are willing to store their information in an app that doesn't have any test coverage.

Thank you for the feedback!

I think one of the major UI differences between Workflowy and CrushPaper is that CrushPaper aims to support multiline notes and quotations. I often paste snippets of code into CrushPaper but that does not seem to work well in Workflowy. In Workflowy you can create multiline notes with Shift+Enter, but then you don't seem to be able to navigate to those lines with the keyboard.

CrushPaper can definitely be changed to use Enter+Tab instead of Alt+c.

Perhaps Alt+Enter should insert a new line within a note, and Enter should create a new note. When I experimented with that during user testing no user guessed that it was possible to create multi-line notes.

That is a great suggestion. Thank you for pointing that out. So far I haven't thought about that at all.

I hadn't realized that. Do you think that is good or bad?
