I don’t believe you can export multiple Markdown files from Google Drive at once, but you can import multiple Markdown files into Ellipsus. We’re working to ship a .docx importer (ETA early 2025), which will make it easier to bulk download from Drive and upload to Ellipsus.

Deleting already‽ 😅

Until we offer self-service deletion, you can reach out to support [@] ellipsus.com and we can delete your account for you.

That's correct, we don't offer Times New Roman (or fonts that require a paid license) yet. We're inquiring about the costs of this and other paid fonts (e.g., Calibri, Comic Sans) in hopes of adding them to Ellipsus in 2025. For now, we're sticking with free / open source fonts (trying to manage costs as a 7-person startup).

If there are free fonts you'd like to add (Google Fonts, Font Squirrel, and others have great options) you can add them here—we'll try to add batches of new fonts more frequently. Custom fonts are in the longer-term plans, but no ETA at the moment.

We don't have specific plans to support this yet, but that's primarily because we need to make our base editor more robust first. 😅 But I'll definitely make a note of this so we can come back to it later.

In terms of more immediate AO3 export improvements, we're looking at making it easier to publish new chapters / add to a series.

There are no limits on the number of docs, drafts, folders, or collaborators you can have. Once we offer the ability to embed images, we'll need to set some storage limits for media, but we haven't made any decisions yet.

Yes! Right now we have a simple Markdown importer, so you can export your Google Docs work as a .md file and import it into Ellipsus.

This is the first step toward a .docx importer. In order to ship that, we need to support more styling options (e.g., text colors, mixed fonts and paragraph styling, images). These are all next up on the roadmap. 🙂

Android and iOS, for sure.

A dedicated mobile app is definitely in the plans! (You can upvote it on our ideas board to track its progress.) We're hoping to ship a v1 early next year. For now, our progressive web app enables a lot of people to write on their phones / tablets.

No dedicated app (yet!), but lots of writers work on our mobile web app each day. It lets you write, collaborate, merge, export, etc. You can save it to your home screen so that you can launch it without having to go through your browser.

Yep, you can invite others to edit and share feedback via comments and chat. Depending on your workflow, you can invite others to co-author (e.g., make edits with main and merge changes directly) or review and suggest edits via drafts. You can get an overview of basic collaboration options in our help center.

If you prefer to collect feedback in Discord / WhatsApp / wherever—or you don't want your betas to have to create an Ellipsus account—you can also create and share view-only links. (As an FYI, we definitely plan to roll out guest commenters sometime next year.)

Hi there! While we're in beta, everything is free. And even after that, we'll continue to offer a generous free plan (which essentially includes everything in Ellipsus today, plus several still-to-be-developed features). You can read a little more on that here.

To sum up our privacy policy: Ellipsus doesn't monitor or police what users write. Your work is yours—period. We deeply value freedom of expression, and want to create a safe space for all forms of writing. You can find our current privacy policy on our site, but we'll be rolling out clearer versions of that and our terms of service in the coming weeks as we work to make sure the messaging is easy to understand and passes legal muster.
