Although implicit links from comment is a very nice feature. I'm excited about the future of Hyperbole. I see a lot of potential with third-party custom button packages, language specific implicit links, perhaps even leveraging Koutliner for literate programming so I hope that a community builds up around it. Org-mode was just an outliner until people grabbed it and ran with it. -deech
