I just read a Reddit post which mentioned that L&L was working on a new product.
Are there any posts here about this? I looked at the first five pages of the blog but couldn’t find anything.
Yes, there is – a new writing app for Mac, iOS and Windows, which reduces the complexity of Scrivener (without being simply a cut-down version of it).
It’s still in beta now, and beta testers have promised not to reveal any details, but you can find the basic announcement here: Something New - Literature & Latte.
HTH.

Also, although our original plan was to release it this year, it has now been delayed until 2026. This is down to a combination of getting the Windows version completed and having to completely rewrite the UI of the Mac and iOS versions for Liquid Glass. The Mac version rewrite especially has been onerous owing to the custom UI it had been using. But look out for more news and details in the first quarter of next year (I hope!).

I’ll be one of the first people to buy it when it’s released.

From the screenshots it looks a lot like Ulysses. I’d like to try it.

The new app does have some similarities with Ulysses – a reduced feature set working (almost entirely) the same way cross platform, though it’s not Markdown-based.
It still retains a lot of the Scrivener feel though… difficult to describe, but easy to recognise when you’ve used both. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to use it in a few months…
I’m really excited about this new app. I haven’t participated in the beta testing but, judging by the few published screenshots, it does appear to offer something unique… Scrivener’s excellent document navigation / overview combined with a simplified experience.
