It's even worse than it appears.

Today's song: Daddy don't live in that New York City no more. #
A piece Hutch Carpenter wrote about the Instant Outliner. Very much a Narrate Your Work tool. A feature supported by both LO2 and Drummer, and I'm guessing no other outliner. If others do support I/O then we should interop! 💥#
Drummer milestone#
  • I reached a milestone this week in my Drummer work, I now have an Electron version of the app. It means that I can now start to use Drummer in my everyday work. #
  • Up till now, I've been able to use Drummer to test and document Drummer. A desktop app, with access to the local file system gives me a better tool for writing basically book-length docs. Drummer has a lot of functionality to document. #
  • I've been doing all my blogging and howto writing in the Concord outliner since April 2017. That's a fair amount of work to port. And I'm going slowly and making it better where ever I can. Four years is enough time to have an idea where there are possible improvements to make. #
  • I'm writing this in Drummer. If you can read it, then you know this much is working. 😄#
  • As they say...#
  • Still diggin!#
  • PS: Maybe I did it too carefully, it worked the first time. :-)#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
