When Marko (@markowenzel) and I started to plan our first iPhone app codename “ShiftCal”, we met and used prototypes to get a feeling for the Interface we wished Apple provided built into Calendar.app. The prototypes for the app which later would be dubbed “Calendar Paste” were really fun to make.
When I developed my iPhone event template builder Calendar Paste, I took a lot of notes during development. In 68 plain text files I collected everything I’ve learned during the planning, design, programming and marketing process of the app.
The other day, Michael Schechter complained Scrivener’s outliner feature lacked a focus mode. To this, Aaron Mahnke laconically replied: Yeah, I still don’t understand the need. Type out an outline, paste it into your document, and then type above it. It will always be visible right below your book text. Why turn the folders into an outline?
