# Developing

This is basically a set of reminders to me for when developing this app.

- [Add the Omnifocus application to your Script Editor
    library][omlib]
    by opening Script Editor, Window -> Library, the "+" button and then
    selecting OmniFocus.
    - Make sure to switch to JavaScript view.
- [osa2] is used to open functions with OSA. It provides a bridge to and from
    the function executed in the OSA environment.

[osa2]: https://github.com/wtfaremyinitials/osa2
