glad to hear that maybe i can help, i will play with it and see if i can add some features myself. Looks simple enough from a first look but obviously I will have to look deeper :)

Are you will keep this morphic based, or you thinking using spec ?

Yes I should've mentioned that I've only tested on 3.0.

I'm serious. I want this to be my only development tool.

I remember how weak the old System Browser felt compared to OmniBrowser, and
eagerly anticipated Nautilus. When it arrived I was in a very different
place after researching the principles behind revolutionary systems
SketchPad, Self, Morphic and others. So I realized that the real barrier to
my expression was not the quality of the browser, but the browser concept
itself. A browser, for me, is just too abstract, and keeps my mental model
too far removed from "sending messages to live objects".

I've been thinking carefully and going very slowly because there are so many
ideas that it's easy to get lost trying to reinvent everything at once. I
don't really know the next step until I live with the system for a while in
each stage. Although I think once code editing and graph layout are
implemented, there will be a reasonable foundation.

Cheers,
