SB: Study units

[Edward K. Ream]

My primary purpose during the sabbatical is to learn important new technologies, especially web technologies. It's not so important to master various web technologies, but I do want to become familiar with various technologies by using them.

I'll break my studies into study units. I expect these units to last a few days to a few weeks.  The next few SB posts will discuss the first study units.

Personally, I'm curious about outliners in clojure.  These two seem interesting:

Thanks for these links. Please let us know about your researches.

    I settled for the time being on Logseq and athens.  Logseq saves things to files in github and athens saves things to the local file system, just like leo does. 
    I noticed their user interface is more like a simple text editor (Notepad if you use Windows 10, for example).  When making outlines, you can just arrow up or down and simply press tab to indent and shift-tab to de-indent.  I think this is very intuitive.
    I get the impression leo's user interface is more oriented towards individual units or nodes with their individual captions and bodies.  I think the amount of functionality in the code base is impressive.  It's nice to have an outliner with the possibility, after some work, to access and manipulate the tree structure, and to have options to do it thru the leo ui or the leobridge.

That's a fair statement. You can use @edit if you want to look at a file all in one place.

Thanks for the kind words. The Leonine world is like no other.
