@robin_wren #scrivener is like Word in that it has so very many features that you will never use them all.
@ianRobinson It is too bad that L&L has decided not to actively suppurt #linux but you can install it on linux too. Since the files travel pretty seamlessly among MacOS, iPasOS, windoze, and linux I find it easier to write with #scrivener whenever the muse or an idea hits. My biggest gripe now (which isn’t much of a gripe) is the lack of definitive file level version control.
@lazysupper I am using #scrivener fairly reliably among my iPad version, a win10 version, and #linux. There are a few annoying things like the iPabd version wanting to default to all text being bold italic but that isn’t bad.

Write Now with Scrivener

I spent three years building a writing app for my wife.

Scrivener organizes what you put in. I wanted one that reads what you write, building the character bible from your manuscript and keeping it current on its own.

It will never write a word for her. That part is hers.

The Kickstarter didn't fund. I shipped it anyway.

#worldbuilding tip: Build and internal Wiki.
In my #scrivener project, I have a Wiki folder where I list out all the pertinent articles to my story complete with links. This helps to organize my sprawling #fantasy novel

While I don't use in anymore (in favor of #Scrivener), for people looking for a simple free and lightweight writing tool, I recommend checking FocusWriter out.

It has just enough customization to bring joy, but not overwhelm.
It helps you count words and meet your writing goals.
And if you like that, it can make tiny typewriter sounds at each keystroke.

Finally installed Scrivener on my Linux drive as i can't be bothered to reboot into Windows every time I use it. Some more annoying configurations still to be done but it works.

I also just realized that if I avoid the compiler, Scrivener is not pure evil.

Setting up a new Mac, the former MacBook I was defrauded into buying having finally definitively crashed after years of giving trouble. To my dismay, my favourite and most-used apps don’t work on it because it doesn’t use an Intel chip - Brave, VLC… I haven’t dared to open Scrivener yet - if that doesn’t work I’m fucked; everything I’m writing & all my research is on Scrivener projects
