Hi!
During screenwriting, I was disappointed with existing outliners so I've written a new software for myself, which is based on ideas of Robert McKee and Syd Field.
It has grown and now I want to share and complete it into finished product, so I have started open beta testing. The outlining process is based on cards, it is a good replacement for paper cards.
It is absolutely free, you can download it and read description here: http://ultraoutliner.com

I'm gonna give this a try. I like the feel of writing the outline pen to paper but it always leads to the same result. Me scrambling around months later flipping through various notepads and squinting at what might as well be hieroglyphics.

Thanks for the heads up.
