A downloadable tool for Windows

Rough Draft Writing App

I built this tool specifically for the rough draft writing challenge. But figured it would be nice for other people to also have it. This app is essentially just a text editor with automatic tracking feature for word count and it has nice displays to see how much you've been progressing through your time writing your app.

Features:

  • Novel Creation
    • Total Word Count Goal
    • Image support
    • Progress bar
  • Text Editor
    • Automatic Formatting for:
      • ... to … (triple periods to ellipses)
      • -- to – (double hyphen to en dash
      • --- to  — (triple hyphen to em dash)
      • fancy quotes
    • Word Count
    • Character Count
    • Chapter Word Count Goal
    • Progress bar
  • Stats Page
    • Yearly heatmap
    • Daily bar graph
    • Cumulative line graph
    • Fun Stats
      • longest chapter
      • words to reach goal
      • Most well established character
      • etc
    • Screenshotting feature
  • Character creation
    • Image support
    • Custom traits
    • Custom Lore
  • Export to markdown
  • Automatic Saving


    Still in Active Development

    I am still actively working on developing this app to be more fully featured and with better performance. I created it using an unoptimal tool and I'm looking for better solutions but it could take a while to actually make it in the new tool with full feature parody so I'm just releasing this version right now.

    Known Issues:

    • Performance


      • Slow Copy & Paste for large pieces of text
      • Buggy when overflowing to new page
    • UX 
      • Improper scrolling on certain character elements
      • No safety checks for deleting files
      • Character view not super useful
