​Great!  None of the icons are working for me?  I don't see anything about fonts in the install docs.  I've just asked a question on the troubleshooting page.

Icons working for me, I would suggest to try another web browser. Im in chrome here. Looks good but they intend to charge money in the future for some services.

Blogging directly from their outline. Is some similar thing available with Leo too?

Cheers.

My personal blog is powered by Leo, but that's a custom solution.

I'll have to clean it up and release it somewhere, to show how it's done.

Additionally, the leo-editor blog on github is powered by Leo as well.

Great, I really look forward to "finish" my Leo-ground studies and begin to move into those kind of more practical-instantly-rewarding Leo features.

I saw some other imressive things from Fargo:

Though it takes a fair bit more work than Fargo's approach, my personal website, along with a few others, is also powered by Leo.  As is the leoeditor.com site, from what I gather.

​Things are worse with IE.  Almost nothing shows.

What's really weird is that the web site for icons also has problems.

These problems shouldn't distract us from the insight that dropbox can function as a personal, sharable, protected file system accessible from an html5 browser.  I wonder, can dropbox files be versioned?

I wonder: there were some weirdnesses installing on Window.  Could a double install have caused problems?

​Except for the icon weirdness, everything works on Windows too.

Try running on two different computers, side by side.  You can simulate collaboration.

Not sure of the technical details of what you mean, but if you get to the menu of any file in your dropbox, you will be able to restore at least the 20 previous versions of a file, most of the times all of them from the first version.

Apparently Dropbox Pro users get Packrat, which is unlimited versioning -  https://www.dropbox.com/help/113/en

I would imagine that you could also have dropbox sync a bzr or git repo, and then use the bzr or git command-line tools you're used to to roll back to previous commits.  Just commit locally, and never push to a remote, and there shouldn't be any issues.

I got no answer, but the solution is to check "Allow pages to use their own fonts" in the advanced part of the "Contents" setting area.  Doh!
