I’ve tried many different writing apps over the years. In Raging Swan Press’s early years, I used Microsoft Word and Evernote. Things change, however, and a wise writer and designer seeks out the best tools for the job. I’ve now concluded that no single writing app fits every use-case scenario.Worse
Obsidian. Hands down the best note-taking and writing app.
Just discovered this myself! Going to poke around at it after the holidays, but it seems like exactly what I wanted out of a note-taking app, and even a writing app.
I was actually learning and configuring vim, and taking notes in markdown, before I found an app that did pretty much exactly what I wanted and more without the fuss. :P
One of my most detailed campaigns was mostly written in Scrivener which worked pretty well. Other than that, I mainly use a personal MediaWiki instance.
I’ve used Scrivener for ages! Wrote a bunch of papers with it in college. Great for organizing a project. Lately I’ve been leaning towards a more barebones approach, but there’s no denying Scrivener is extremely good at what it does.
A mix of LibreOffice, Kanka.io, and Notion.
Oh, and insane walls of text via SMS to friends who somehow forgot to ask about my midget dance fight lore. Bless them.
