I'm working on GlosSurly - a strongly opinionated take on text markup / aka Annotation. The basic idea is to toss out HTML, and actually have layers of content that aren't interleaved with their markup. Markup will be layers on top of the text. (In a separate file, even) I've got lots of "pie in the sky" application ideas which rest on this.

I set out the main ideas for basic text structures a few days ago, and wrote up some test cases. Last night I had a vision of the test GUI I wanted to build... did the GUI, menus, etc... then started writing code to load the test cases, and parse it. Then the testing engine, and finally the actual code to be tested.

It's all a big hack right now, but I've got it up on GitHub - https://github.com/mikewarot/glossurly

Most of my tests pass... ;-)

I'm just happy to have something I can now build upon up and running. I was feeling pretty depressed as I've had eye surgery and have limited vision... this helped, a lot!
