I’m an outliner devotee, and I’ve always thought that a Web-based version of my beloved Ecco Pro would be the best of all possible outlining worlds. Sproutliner is just a gesture in the right direction, but it’s a beautiful one — it’s got click-drag-and-drop, it’s got columns, and it’s apparently just beginning development. Its outlining design is more natural and versatile to me than the list-oriented approach of Tada Lists; it avoids the click-and-wait Web-app torpor of Forty Notebook.
It still needs user authentication, text wrapping, clickable urls, cut and paste… and on and on. I don’t know how far you can push the Ajax magic to mimic the responsiveness of a desktop application. But this is pretty impressive.
