These are the big features that remain to be done in Atlantis, the new version of Frontier in development with myself and Claude. The one that's bold is what we're working on now. I want to get it into shipping shape. And a couple of the things on the list came from Claude and I don't know what they mean.
I got rid of all the claude verbiage. everyone knows what the menu editor is, and all the rest of it.
\n\nthe menu editor is working now.
\n\nwe're moving toward getting a shipping disk put together, ready to be installed on a user's machine. that's my next step, installing the virgin frontier.root and then bringing in nodeEditor.root as a guest database, and shake that out.
\n\nmy aim is to have the desktop app running everywhere Electron runs, i want to get this thing going, tired of being the only user.
\n\nit is starting to feel reliable, but not all the way there yet, the outliner is the core, and it's very much debugged, having been part of my JS outliners since 2013.

The blog rendering would run off the RSS feed. I probably would write something new and very simple, almost like an RSS feed browser.
The reason I would start with a pilot project here is because there are other people here, already. And if I said something provocative that you knew other people would see, would you be drawn to that? I trust the people I've invited here not to be spammers.
We might be ready for that. We put a lot of effort into the comment system here. We plan to use the new features to create a very new kind of web.
