1. Mobile Editing Manifesto

1.1. Introduction

During the 2010 Snowy Hackfest, one of the main topics of discussion was the note experience on mobile devices. Certainly the most complex issue was editing. This document attempts to distill the discussions we had and the conclusions we made.

Disclaimer: although the context of these conclusions was the development of a mobile-focused HTML5 offline app distributed as part of Snowy, I don't see any reason that these same points wouldn't also apply to a native Android app like Tomdroid, or a hypothetical native iOS app, etc. While I haven't put a lot of thought into what the differentiators should be between "Snowy Mobile" and Tomdroid, I think sharing work on the editing experience might be in our best interest, especially with the various complexities involved.
