If you have the patience to try again, we are eliminating any package control channel from the process, it is now a .ZIP file download. See if these steps are any more successful: https://urtext.co/setup/sublime-text&#x

Yes, similar, and Leo was one of many inspirations.

It was inspired partly by org-mode, but org-mode can be quite difficult for non LISP-users. This project has the priority of low barrier to entry, with a lot of the Python-specific functionality coming out-of-the-box, and abstracted away un

This was helpful, thank you. We replaced the video on the homepage with some inline examples of at least syntax, and will soon post some examples of "real world" use. Curious, how important would it be to you that the examples be

This was great feedback, thank you. One of us in the development group is looking at NeoVim now as another possible implementation.

This was helpful, thank you. We have replaced the home page video with inline examples of the syntax instead, and will be adding some real-world use examples in addition.

This is helpful feedback, thank you. We are working on this possibility, and explaining a clearer separation between, as another poster mentioned, the Python library (which is headless) and a specific implementation (which requires some sor

Thank you for the feedback, very helpful. We are trying to solve this to make something close to a single-step install. The package at https://packagecontrol.io/search/urtext is now an installer only. See the readme at

We have had trouble with package control, unfortunately. The package control bot was down for over two months without any notification to developers, and we did not know why the small pool of test users were unable to pull updates during th

Similar, thanks for asking. Org-mode was one of many inspirations.

Yes, inspired by org-mode and similar to it in some respects. It does have Python block execution, but the syntax is not that of org-mode.

It was inspired by that and similar wiki-like tools.

This was helpful feedback, thank you. Removed the video and added examples instead, and will be adding more.

There is a "starter project" with self-documenting examples that can be created from the Sublime Text command palette: https://urtext.co/setup/starter-project/ We can make some more example projects avai

The documentation should be made clearer in that case. A priority was to make setup and trial easy for non-technical users. It seems now that to technical users it is unclear what is offered. From your list it is first and mostly: 1. a plai

Correct that it needs an editor, but it need not be GUI. Everything can be done in text buffers only. The library is newly presented and there is not an implementation in VIM, but it would be a good choice and would not take long to impleme
