In my subjective opinion, NovelWriter is one of the finest FOSS writing programs out there. It has enough features for organizing, notes, etc, to be more usable than a text editor, but without the (IMO) unneeded complexity of bigger programs such as Scrivener. It really gets out of your way and lets you get to writing.
It also has been extremely stable and glitch-free in my experience.
If you’re okay with not having a WYSIWYG rich text editor, I’d highly recommend giving it a shot. :)
May look into this considering I just received an email from Scrivener about my current version no longer being supported, and that I will lose access if I update to Windows 11…
Nice
Oh I should try this. I have been using Manuskript with some success but it is a little too much organizing and I prefer markdown shorthand.
As someone who also bounced off Manuskript for similar reasons, I think this will be right up your alley. :)
I found this program too when I switched my working os to linux mint but haven’t tried it out yet. I’ll have to try it out soon. Glad to hear good things.
Definitely checking this out. The first screenshot I see and it, to me, looks better than Manuskript. Definitely gonna try it on my laptop so I can get the appimage.
