Scrivener goes 1.0

January 23rd 2007 at 3:35 am

I’m a huge fan of the OS-X writing software Scrivener, and I can’t say enough good things about it. Fortunately I don’t have to repeat them, you can see some early thoughts here.

I’ve been waiting 5 years for this exact feature set and functionality to arrive.

Oh! Oh wow! Ohmigosh, ohmigosh, that’s exactly what I need!

Heartbreak.

I don’t have a Mac. *whimper* Is there anything … anything out there like it for Windows, that you or your commenters have heard of???

Dunno, there is yWriter written by Simon Haynes.

It’s really Windowsy for me, in terms of GUI, but it does some of the same stuff. I just don’t see the same small-software innovation on the PC side as the mac side, so I’m not sure if there is anything that matches the feature set.

Microsoft has OneNote (http://www.microsoft.com/onenote) which is a decent program, if not the same thing as Scrivener. OneNote is a generic note gathering program mostly with businesses in mind. It excels at letting the user organize disparate pieces of data (text, audio, video, web links, etc.) in any way they want. It can be used to keep a writer’s notes, but it isn’t specifically tuned for writers.

Julia, no problem, glad you liked it
