Chris Pederick’s Web Developer Extension (for Firefox or Mozilla) makes your browser into a web site builder’s clinic. Bah. That sounds like cheesy ad copy. But it is a cool widget.

ArtRage is a freeware painting program similar to Painter, that imitates natural media and is really meant to be used with a graphics tablet. Pity my Wacom died a long while ago.

No Comments on Leo

Leo is ancther ou@liner, Inspiredby MORE (Frontier/Radio’s forefather). However, the big difference between Leon and other outliner programs I ran across in the past is that it’s quite easy to understand what it’s good for.
I think that the reason for this is that the guy who wrote Leo has been working on it since 1996, and has rewrote it 4 times (the current version is in Python and uses the Tk toolkit), and has used it continously, so he actually knows what it’s good for, and can explain it easily: It lets you use outlines for literate programming and project management.
