All of your ideas can be arranged and enriched in one place. You can create an infinite canvas that allows cards to look like sticky notes. They are thought units with clear borders that are displayed on a white, squeaky-clean canvas. We chose clear-cut, intuitive functions to prevent the document becoming more messy as the cards increase in number. These include drag'n-drops, deep dive, tabs within a file, embedded images, videos, and hyperlinks, as well as sub-pages. Users are able to navigate easily and have a well-organized space. Instead of providing scattered information, the tool provides a bird's eye view of the cards and creates the big picture.

    yWriter Reviews

    yWriter

    Spacejock Software

    yWriter is an word processor that breaks down your novel into chapters or scenes. This helps you keep track of your work and allows you to free your mind to create. It won't write your novel, provide plot suggestions or perform any creative tasks. yWriter was created by an author, not a salesman. yWriter7 can be downloaded and used for free, but it's recommended that you register your copy if this is something you find useful. If you're just embarking on your first novel a program like yWriter may seem like overkill. You just need to type everything into a word processing program. It's possible, but once you reach 20,000 words, you will find yourself overwhelmed with notes, missing scenes, chapters, and characters. Imagine that same novel at 40,000 words or 80,000 words. It's no wonder that most first-time authors give up.

    Byword Reviews
    Write a blog post, a story, or a school report from wherever you are. Markdown allows you to format text using keyboard shortcuts, subtle syntax highlight, word counters with live updates, and many other features. All your documents, across all your devices. Dropbox and iCloud allow you to create documents in Byword on your Mac, and then access them on your iPad or iPhone. You can also do the reverse. They can be edited from any location, on any device. Markdown support is available in Byword. You can preview your documents in the app, export to HTML or PDF, or publish directly on Medium, WordPress Blogger, Tumblr, Evernote, and Tumblr. Technical limitations and limited development resources are the reasons rich text support is not available. We are currently evaluating the benefits and costs of rich text support for iOS. We strongly recommend that you use plain text and markdown formats for your documents. Macworld has a great article that explains why plain text is a good choice today.
