I'm the creator of the app that inspired this one, http://gingkoapp.com http://gingkoapp.com They say imitation is the best form of flattery, but I'm surprised Ray that you didn't credit Gingko at all. It's practically identical. Thoughts? --- Edit: My bad... it's not on the website, but I see Gingko mentioned and linked in the Readme. Thanks Ray.

> Nulis is an open source tree editor for writers, inspired by Gingko. To learn how it works, visit https://nulis.io/about https://nulis.io/about and try it out. He does say "inspired by", though not sure if that was the credit you are expecting.

  I think that's plenty of recognition. Most people wouldn't even bother out of fear of losing potential users to the "original". Unfortunately, being the first or most common product in a space has the side effect of attracting copies, spin offs, or other imitations.

It's in like the first sentence of the Readme. > Nulis is an open source tree editor for writers, inspired by Gingko. I will say that it's not mentioned anywhere on nulis.io however.

  Ok, glad it's mentioned somewhere. Couldn't find any mention first time I checked it out.

    I think it's absolutely acceptable to ask for more references if you feel it's insufficient.
