How much will I end up paying?
You won't have to pay a thing to use LooseStitch. It is absolutely free. We plan to keep it this way for as long as we can, so we want you to get really hooked to using LooseStitch and if this is the only outliner you will use that would give us the kick we need to continue supporting it.
Is there a limit to how many outlines I can create?
Create as many documents as you wish, invite as many friends as you want. It will still be free. No down payments, no monthly installments. Zilch.
What browsers do you support?
LooseStitch works great on the most popular browsers out there, Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer 7. We have even developed a version specially for the iPhone. We are really excited about the possibilities. Check it out if you have one. LooseStitch may work with other browsers but we aren't sure. If you find anything that needs our attention, please send us your feedback. It will help us improve LooseStitch for everyone.
I have outlines created in other applications. Can I use these with LooseStitch?
Absolutely. LooseStitch uses the industry standard
OPML file format to import and export outlines that can be used by programs like
OmniOutliner. So if you have created outlines outside of LooseStitch, you can very easily set one up online by importing your existing file, with the assurance that you can always carry your work back to your outliner of choice.
Can I use LooseStitch when I am not connected to the Internet?
You know what? Even we were surprised to find that we could in fact use LooseStitch while we were offline! So next time you are rushing out to attend that tree-house meeting, do this. Create your outline in LooseStitch when you are connected to the Internet, then go attend that meeting and jot down all your notes, ideas, minutes, even if you are offline. When you come online again just click Save. Done. Invite all those who attended the meeting and they have access to your notes immediately. No emailing necessary, no attachments required.
Why do I need an outliner?
Hmmm. That's an interesting question. We had the same question when we first heard about outliners. Once you get a hang of it, you will wonder how you managed without one for so long. LooseStitch was built from our own need to constantly share sitemaps and requirement documents with our clients.
Ok, be honest. What can't I do with LooseStitch?
Hah! Plenty actually. You can't for example save the world, though by not using paper for all your doodling and scribbling of notes and ideas, you do end up saving a lot of trees. Ok. currently, we don't support formatting of rows, attachments to outlines, we would like to be able to set priorities, flag or unflag rows. We kept all these features out so that we could build something that is really easy and fun to use. If we find a lot of interest in LooseStitch, maybe we will add many other features in the future.
I love LooseStitch. How can I help?
Thanks. We really appreciate the kind words. Honestly, nothing will make us happier than seeing LooseStitch being used. Spread the word, blog about LooseStitch. Tell us how you use it, what you like, what you don't like. If you would like to contribute, there are several ways you can get involved.
Donations are welcome. It will help pay for hosting and our coffee. We would like to make LooseStitch multi-lingual, so if you are interested in getting some of the stuff on this site translated, get in touch and we can work out a way to use your skills.
