Those who remember this family of Software might see some similarity ;-) : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Userland_Software#Frontier Just look at the article for protocols that they introduced and popularised.

There's lots of other cool stuff under the hood that you probably won't notice at first, like:

- It's a not just an outliner but it's also a outlined chat/collaboration tool. - It's not just an outliner but it's also a Javascript programming environment. i.e. you can execute functions that that you write in the outlines. - It's not just an outliner, it's a front end to your blogging platform.

Also, don't worry about connecting it to Dropbox. It sandboxes all it's activities under the Apps/Fargo folder so won't go crazy with your files.

Already there is a lot to try out and hopefully this will be the new frontier that we have been waiting for.



I really appreciate the enthusiasm, as co-founder of the company and one of two developers of the product.

However, you can't at this time edit full JavaScript apps in Fargo, you can run single lines of code using Cmd-/.

We do plan to make it a JS development tool, we use it that way ourselves, but first we want to release the server-side component.

It is today a very good workgroup tool. Here's a doc that explains how to set it up for a workgroup.
