Re: Introducing Scrivener 3
#2Good work on the new release. As a long time Scrivener 2 user, I'm happy to see this.
However, I wanted a simpler and subjectively nicer looking tool for distraction-free writing and thus made my own. It's free, has a few social features built-in, tracks writing progress/goals/distractions, and can make good looking books.
Also, adding features to Singular Writer has been really easy, as evidenced by it being in existence for a few months. For the Windows crowd, we've had feature parity from day one.
Check it out if you want to write more [with friends].

#5I only used Scrivener for my master thesis a few years ago but keep recommending it to everyone who is about to write a longer text. It's a great tool and helped me a lot to overcome writing procrastination. Very happy to see it's actively developed.

No - as far as I understand, this only works though iCloud. Works well in my experience though.

I'm curious what features you found/find most helpful.

#9I've been using emacs for about 27 years, and even wrote two novels ( e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005JPPMS6 ) in it. Author friends tell me that I've really really REALLY got to try Scrivener, but I know from previous attempts at using other tools that nothing but emacs feels right to me.
I should give it a try, I suppose...but it's going to be really weird.

#10I will be glad to see the 64 bit version on Windows. The current version seems quite sluggish compared to say, Word 2016. I've used it for 80k sized manuscripts and it starts to chug mid way through.
Also some better support for things like Git would be nice. It works currently, but is a bit of a hassle. Integrated commit/push etc would be awesome (like VS Code's model)
Other than that, great tool. I like being able to keep all my planning in the same place as the draft, and being able to switch between a synopsis for the scene and my actual writing.
