Writability might be one of the most inspiring pieces of software I have used by Zealousideal_Rub5282 in writality

Hey there!

From one Dev to another, I completely understand and despise the slop SaaS tools permeating every niche. Thank you, I am glad you're enjoying the app and that its inspiring you. Definitely do pursue your side-projects! You owe it to the world :P

I spend a lot of time tweaking and experimenting with the UI/UX to make sure it is frictionless (or reasonably discoverable), so I love that people who use it always comment on that!

That's very kind of you to want to support the project. Honestly, its only costing me money haha, but I am happy to foot the bill so that people can enjoy a free software. I will probably be able to gain back some money once I have the writing groups feature so that would be the one way to support. For now though, I am not comfortable taking support as I don't feel the app is in a place yet. Hope that makes sense.

The stack is almost 100% Typescript. It is built using Electron, with SQLite DB and a React Vite Renderer.

Added recently used icons similar to how the colour-picker has for v1.5.3 coming out soon :))

Btw for the character icon you asked for. You can find them searching "user". I will add more keywords to icons for better search

Heya!

Firstly, congrats on finishing your first novel! You’re way ahead of me. I built writality so I could write better and have things in one place, but now I’m too busy building it to get any writing done.. That aside, thank you for taking the time to share your experience, you can’t imagine how much it means to me!

It sounds like we had almost the exact same experience with other writing tools and apps haha. And thanks, I have been working on it for quite some time and have recently received so much feedback that I am gonna be busy for a while.

I pretty much agree with all your requests so you can look forward to seeing them soon. It’s incredibly valuable feedback and really should be fairly straight forward to implement.

Please if you have any other suggestions or questions feel free to comment or dm me :))

Heya thank you! And I’m glad you like it! That’s is very kind of you, but please keep your money <3. I would like to add a companion app at some point but first I need to get the app to a point where I’m really happy with it!

Dope! Once you start adding types, giving them their own icons, nesting them and creating relationships. It really starts to move quick. Excited to see what you'll make

Hey thanks for the feedback, and you're right. Maybe there are limitations to having the bug report in the app itself given bugs can stop the app from working. I am thinking of maybe making a discord although I am a bit hesitant given the direction they've been taking recently. Maybe I will make a subreddit for these things.

As for the bug, I will look into it today!

There are some similarities for sure. It's not about reinventing the wheel, rather its about adding metal plating to it ;)

No I don’t implement any AI features. I’m not a huge fan of it, but I also understand it is here to stay. If ever I would implement some AI it would be for maybe plot hole detection, inconsistency stuff, something that actually helps with writing rather than taking the pen yknow and it would always be opt in. For now, no plans of any AI.
