Ask HN: What is that standalone organization program that orgmode people like

5 points by mrobot 6y ago ↗ HN

This standalone program was supposedly good for organization for programmers; i remember it had a subpar GUI that people complained about but was really good. I think there was some green in the GUI. I can't find the program googling around. I first saw it on HN which is why i'm asking, but the site:news.ycombinator.com google queries i'm trying are not helping.

What is this program please?

Maybe WorkFlowy? (https://workflowy.com/)

No it wasn't that. It was a standalone GUI program with a GUI that seemed non-modern but was useful.

I think it was more programmer-centric than just organizing. It was for organizing code ideas too.

The gui reminded me of an old tcltk gui or something

Now that i think about it it wasn't a gui it was i think a tui and maybe an editor. it might be leo i was thinking of. I'm pretty sure it was leo. Sorry for not being clearer.

Maybe bear.app or Ulyss. I use bear.app and really like it.
