DNP 03 - Software


  • The forums are locked, the podcast is going stronger than ever

  • Solo Segment: Conflict on every page, but what is conflict?

  • Main topic: software for writers

  • yWriter: novel creation software.

  • Zim and WikidPad: wikified notes.

  • Any number of tangents, among others about distrusting anything that puts info online.

  • Closing things up: cut content

  • yWriter doesn't do markup or layout.

  • yWriter lacks an undo function, but backups saved by day may provide a work-around.

  • yWriter does have spel czech, uh spell check. Just check yWriter's help under "Spell Check"; it will tell you where to download the external dictionary you need.

  • Also other report getting yWriter to work with Wine under Linux, but I haven't been able to duplicate this. YMMV. Check this page for details.

  • Next week: Outlines.

  • It's weird listening to yourself speak, very weird.
    You did an amazing job editing it, my compliments :)

    Looking forward to the next one

  • It was weird for me too at first, but I'm starting to get used to it. Thanks for the compliments on the edit, I was afraid you'd be appalled at how much got cut.

    The next one should be here Wednesday.
