From the main page (https://novelwriter.io https://novelwriter.io):
novelWriter is a Markdown-like text editor designed for writing novels and larger projects of many smaller plain text documents. It uses its own flavour of Markdown that supports a meta data syntax for comments, synopsis, and cross-referencing between files. It's designed to be a simple text editor that allows for easy organisation of text files and notes, built on plain text files for robustness.

- dang 6y agoIn cases where a project hasn't been discussed on HN before, which it appears this one hasn't, we change the link to the project home page. I've changed it to that from https://github.com/vkbo/novelWriter/releases/tag/v1.0 https://github.com/vkbo/novelWriter/releases/tag/v1.0 now.
- app4soft 6y agoThanks!
- ConfusedDog 6y agoLooks really good. Like a simplified version of Scrivener, which is awesome. Would be awesome if I can import it to Scrivener and the other way around.
- unixhero 6y agoScrivener is the novelist standard now isn't it?
- andrewflnr 6y agoDepends what you mean by "standard". It is very widely used, but the closest thing to a standard in the sense of something needed for interoperation is docx.
- falcolas 6y ago> standard in the sense of something needed for interoperation is docx 100% this. Word, or docx more specifically, is used for exchanging documents all over the place. It's readable (and writable) by Google Docs, Word, Pages, Open Office, and more I'm not aware of. I do some proofreading, and I have done typesetting for a novel, and if the inputs I get are not in a Google Doc, it's in docx file.
- unixhero 6y agoThe standard, as in what novelists enjoy writing, a software to enhance the writing experience.
- andrewflnr 6y agoNot really that either, honestly. I know/have heard a lot of writers who just use Word for that, too, Brandon Sanderson for one. Scrivener is widespread and well-loved, but it's very optional.
- marvindanig 6y agoSomewhat. However, their manuscript → markdown export has issues. I have seen people struggling with the flavor of its markdown a bit as well. OP has a great solution that focuses on markdown alone. And that's a welcome change!
