It's safe to say that mysterious and reclusive DC member Skrommel single-handedly built the Coding Snacks section of the DonationCoder forum, where people request small custom applications. Coding in the Autohotkey scripting language, Skrommel is also one of the fastest coders we've seen -- when he is on the prowl it's not uncommon for him to finish coding a request before most of us have had time to even read it. He also typically shares his source code along with the compiled utility, which makes it possible for others to extend and customize his tools.

Micro-review: Scapple http://www.literatur...atte.com/scapple.php
I LOVE this program. For me, it is the perfect brainstorming tool I've always been looking for. It's easy to change the look of each element. It's easy to put background shapes around a selection of elements. It can export easily as images, pdf, whatever. You don't need a "center" like most mindmaps. It's easy to link things together with lines or arrows. It's easy to do simple alignments of elements. I've been looking for something like this for years. I tried a whole bunch. Things like Personal Brain are too fancy and complicated. Mindmaps never worked for me at all. Visio is too much and too hard to do simple things. I settled on Edge Diagrammer (thanks mouser!) for a while because it was the easiest of those flowchart tools to use. Regular notetakers and outliners are not freeform enough for brainstorming.  |
