ARROW BRAINSTORMING APPLICATION
ARROW BRAINSTORMING APPLICATION

Summary/Abstract: Arrow is a brainstorming application with millions of uses. The starting point for this application was creating an Outliner for the web. An outliner is an application that creates, in essence, nested check lists. However, one of the formats in which an outline can be saved is the OPML format, which can be used for a lot of other things, one of which being mind-mapping. Mind-mapping is a way of displaying ideas as an idea tree, starting from the most basic and general topic or the concept itself, and then the branches go in deeper, analyzing a particular subtopic of its parent. Sounds familiar? This is the idea behind outlines, as well. Starting from this idea, and the two ways of displaying the data, there is no limit to the domain in which the Arrow application can be of use. Education, development, or maybe just domestic to-do lists. Everything goes. Arrow is a web application designed to work in the cloud, connecting people to share ideas, outline projects and imagine the world. Take education for example: A teacher can always bring a summary of the lesson to class structured as a mind-map or an outline. This way, he can keep track of what he's taught already, and what to teach next. At the same time, student can be given access to that outline, and can follow the teacher as he goes through it, and furthermore, can use it to study easier. Possibilities are endless. It all depends on the user!
