Development Outliner

Development Outliner is a text-editor and management tool for planning, keeping track of work and to-do lists for your projects.

Unlike most similar applications DO does not support collaboration projects or any network features, as a solo-dev I found no need for such features which is why I created this tool instead of using already existing tools, to get a less complex application and a tool that allow me to work offline. With that said, DO is, for obvious reasons, best suited for solo-developers.

Create documents to handle your to-do list, plan and describe features, concepts etc. And organize your work with the softwares catalog-hierarchy.

Create Documents within your workspace to plan your project, keep track of tasks that need to be done and structure them with Development Outliner’s Tree View.

Documents can be organized by 5 categories: Note, Task, Feature, Bug and Nodes.

Progress can also be tracked by changing states, adding messages and notifications to the documents.

Text Documents are edited with a WYSIWYG editor, custom formatting can be bound to hotkeys Alt+1~5 to quickly stylize the selected text. Aswell as Alt+C that highlights the selected text in a green color, useful to mark certain tasks in a bullet-list as accomplished for example.

To help manage larger projects, labels can be created and attached to documents, related documents/tasks can be connected by using the “Labeling Dialog” in the Document Editor.

Furthermore, documents can be placed in different “Build” collections created by the user to help determine at what stage the work should be handled in.
