Unleash your inner novelist and let Scrivener help manage your writing project. Available for $20, the Scrivener household license allows you to access your work on multiple devices. Scrivener replaces bits of paper, index cards and sticky notes by allowing you to storyboard projects, to edit and work on different sections, either alone or in concert, and to post notes and access research. There's a script formatting function to help you write the next classic movie hit, a name generator, and the ability to freely edit and restore to older versions so you won't lose anything as you dive deep into the creative process.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Pretty disappointed they abandoned the Linux version.

By all accounts I've seen, the Mac version's really the way to go; the Windows version lags pretty far behind.

Re:
Try on your favorite text editor. It makes Pluma go full screen with the text area, no menus or anything else, just text window using the whole screen. again brings back the title bar, menu bar etc.

So what happens after they drop the Mac version?

Re: Re: the Mac version's really the way to go
I don't know. You're presupposing a mass exodus of Scrivener users to Windows, presumably including creator Keith Blount himself.

While you're right that Apple has clearly shifted its major focus from MacOS to iOS, and while this *has* caused some considerable consternation among Mac users, I don't see the creative community abandoning Macs in droves yet, either. I don't see any reason to believe, at present, that Scrivener is going to become a Windows-first product in the near future.

I mean, it's not as if Windows's market share is increasing either.

People quit pirating windows. Now they can't even give it away.
