Scrivener windows vs.mac3/22/2023 ![]() Obsidian: “thinking”/ exploratory writing. They all have their uses because I spend a lot of time writing, reading etc. But I suspect it will only be a matter of time before they do (unless Scrivener gets a massive overhaul).Ĭount me as someone who uses Scrivener every day, too… AND I use Obsidian and Ulysses as well. Only know three people online who haven’t moved on completely to Ulysses, Obsidian, etc. ![]() Don’t know anyone at all in person who still uses it today. Scrivener was the app back in the day, when pretty much everyone I knew who did any writing or editing was using it as their go-to app. And what about those folks who run Linux or Android? Scrivener has nothing to offer them. And the sync process, which still needs Dropbox, is far more problematical than it should be in this day and age. The iOS app, which took years to release after first being announced as in development, is still very limited compared to the desktop version. Scrivener 3 isn’t very different to Scrivener 1 in its core functionality, and other than some bug fixes and minor tweaks, Scrivener 3 hasn’t been updated at all since 2017, and the last time macOS even got a bug-fixing release was December 2020. From the people I know who use (or formerly used) Scrivener, the main thing impacting on their use of the forum is that they no longer use the software as much as they used to, if at all. Think the forum rejig at Scrivener hasn’t had much of an impact one way or another. Was just giving a comparison: showing how healthy the Obsidian forum is. No need to re-register if you have logged in within the last twelve months. I am sure there are plenty of new ones I have yet to see. I do come on here still regularly just to get a decent update and I do still see the names of a number of the very helpful people popping up but somewhat less often. I highly doubt people are migrating to other things but rather laying low and enjoying what they already know. ![]() And maybe they have learned enough to slow down until things are released and official. Perhaps many people who were helping more were doing so because they were also being helped. And also, things are less new and more understood. There may be a point where people feel less able to, as a team, help steer the ship because it has already picked up so much speed and weight. It does make me sad to hear that that is your sense. So unfortunately I wouldn’t have been able to really notice. I love this place but in the past month or so have had to significantly scale back my time and visits because an intense new class. I will say that I know exactly what you mean by lots of people helping each other.
