About YourOtherMind

YourOtherMind is a writing environment consisting of the following components:

• Layouts are stored inside SqLite tables for a compact, portable, database.
• Notes inside a Layout are represented by an array of objects serialized as XML (a field in the row for each database). This xml format makes it easy for developers to add new fields to notes and new note types.
• Netsparkle is used for updating the deployed application with Inno Setup used for building the setup and update packages.
• Managed Extensibility Framework is used for AddIns.
• Uses GetText for Translation

Quick Links

• Transaction System

AddIn Development

YourOtherMind AddIns can bring the following types of functionality into the main application.

• NoteTypes – May add new Note Types (must also be able to remove the registered notetype if the Addin is removed)
• One-off – No interaction addin, like memory tracker
• Receive Information – Takes existing information and does something with it.
• Receive Information and Return It – an example of this would be the Word Lookup addin, that looks for synonyms and definitions and allows a new word to be selected to replace the one being viewed

These pages provide more specific informatino about Addins.
