I tried Leo a few times and really liked it. Not a programmer, but have to sort a lot of information and academic writing. I read this list because I enjoy seeing the project development and enjoy Edward's leadership.

I have moved off of Leo and now use Emacs, mostly for org-mode but also for whatever else is useful. Emacs itself has features that I can't give up, or at least am not willing to right now.

I recall seeing talk of using Emacs as a front end for, but now I cannot find it in my old messages. Forgive me if I am using the wrong words here. As I said, I am not a developer or tech-jobbed/educated person. To the extent it is possible for these to things to merge in my life I would very much like that. Please consider this small voice for whatever it is worth.

If I am not remembering whatever was said previously, please disregard!

That's not going to happen.

However, you can access Leo outlines using Leo's bridge.  See this page.

There is also an xemacs.py plugin that allows communication between Leo and emacs.

What are those features?  Adding them to Leo might make Leo substantially better.

I'll create new enhancement items for these features.
