You can already use Grammerly with Scrivener. There isn’t anything for L&L to do to make that happen. Well at least on my MacOS it works, I stopped using MS Windows a few years ago.
Unfortunately the release is likely to be early next year now. We’re not going to say or show anything more until it’s nearly ready for release, purely to avoid frustration for everybody.
Thanks for the interest!
All the best,
Keith
Can you at least tell us the app’s name?
When I worked in software development new versions and products were given a code name. The official name was only revealed on product launch or update released.
Call it Project Presley, nice and alliterate, and we’ll all be able to identify with it someday.
Maybe Project Scribble?
I’m certainly keen to see what this new app will be like. I hope they learn the lessons from other devs from a certain app, and while iCloud sync is a welcome feature, I hope they don’t restrict WHERE the backups are saved like this other app does - that’s a fail on the part of the other app. Also - backups properly saved in the cloud, not locally…ANOTHER mistake made by said other app haha!
Anyway - eyes peeled on the future
I’m a fan of the name Scribble. It would be a fitting part of the Scrivener and Scapple family.
I would doubt that KB selects that as Scribble is feature of iPadOS when using an Apple Pencil for handwriting and have iPadOS make sense of it.
AND, it might already have a great name!
Scribbner is my vote.
Don’t think there was ever any suggestion of a popularity contest vote for the name.
As I posted above, it MIGHT already have a great name.
But of course. ‘I see nothing… I know nothing!!!’
Hehe “is my vote” is more of a saying than thinking there was an actual contest. Maybe it’s not a saying any longer.
Sounds exciting! Especially, it’s nice to see new tools from Lit&Lat, especially one that complements Scrivener, rather than replace it.
I use far less of Scrivener’s features than you and 645 might be the perfect fit— or a psychic refresher course about what you can really do with Scrivener!
Either way is good to have more to choose from. Can’t wait to see what they’ve been up to
I’m looking forward to learning more about this mystery app! I’m trying not to project too much onto it of what I hope it will be
“Am I bovvered?”
While having a light-weight app that integrates with Scrivener for those times when on-the-move I want to make a quick note would be useful (the start up time of Scrivener for iOS is longer than my retention time) I can wait for it to be released.
Since we’re handing out unsolicited naming advice, I dunno how it could be anything other than Bartleby.
They can set it up so that, initially, some small, random percentage of the time it will reply, “I would prefer not to,” when you try to open it, save your work, etc. As time goes by, that percentage creeps up to one hundred.
Afterward, it will only display an image of a drab brick wall and will consume all your computer’s resources doing nothing at all, but since it’s uninstallable and cannot be closed you’ll have to move to another device entirely if you hope to get anything done.
Just so you know, you can already somewhat emulate that by having a couple of Google Chrome tabs in the background.
It works with pretty much any app.
(Not to take anything away from your suggestion, though. – Just trying to help.)
Wait… so my brain is somehow set to “Bartleby Mode”? HOW DO I TURN IT OFF?!
Bartleby is already spoken for.
Not once, but twice: It’s also a book formatter. (which the dev tried to introduce in these forums.)
