Riot

Riot is an Information Organisation Tool

About

Riot is a tool for keeping (textual) information organised. Some people call such programs 'outliners'. It is a todo list and note manager, and a manager for whatever information one might collect, that I wrote because I couldn't find a single one that was at all close to what I wanted. Riot has an interface resembling those of slrn and mutt and all text editing is done with an external editor: Riot is simply a nice-to-use browser for collections of text.

Here's the obligatory screenshot.

You will need GHC to compile it. Some old version; it's a hopelessly moving target, and, e.g., the latest 6.10.1 will not work. Indeed, riot is no longer being workd on, due to the unavailability of GHC for Cygwin.
