things are very messed up comment ()  11:09:22 PM  #   I've got an idea for a new REALbasic app: Radio Composer. The problem it solves is link management. When I'm composing a post I have all these links I want to include and I find building a post with those links to be an uncomfortable experience. Posts are hard to read with links embedded in them. And the whole process of building that tags is harder than it should be. So Radio Composer would let you copy links in and keep a list of them along with their substitutions as a list in one pane. Post composition would occur in another pane. To make a substitution, you'd simply put your substitute in your composition sandwitched between some meta character, such as '#'. So #link# would be substituted with whatever link you had specified as the substitution. I guess you could build any kind of substitution you wanted. Not just links. Then you'd simply copy from the compose pane to get the correctly formed HTML onto your clipboard so that you could paste into Radio's posting form. Maybe I could even have Radio Composer perform the post for you. comment ()  7:21:07 AM  #
