Re: Feature request: dark mode
I'm just not going to use it anymore. I can't stare for months on end at a blaring white screen ripping my eyeballs apart.

Re: Where to compose--Scrivener or Mellel--for dissertation
Writing a book, I started with Scrivener, but moved to Mellel 4. Indexing is a big thing for me, but I also really like the new Story pane as it helps me keep in mind some ideas. I just watched the tutorial on this. Seems like it could be helpful and although Scrivener certainly does this, it actua...

Re: Where to compose--Scrivener or Mellel--for dissertation
There is an advantage to composing in an environment similar to what the reader will see in the end. It makes it easier to control visually for things like paragraph length. I agree with everything you said, especially this point. That's something in Scrivener that just sort of happens organically,...

It sounds like it will be more of what I was hoping for--better looking and more functional interface. It looks great. Unless it comes out soon, which isn't likely, I will need...

Where to compose--Scrivener or Mellel--for dissertation
Hi Y'all! I'm writing a 15,000 word dissertation for my Applied Linguistics course and am trying to decide on which program to compose it in. I use and enjoy both Scriver and Mellel, and they are my only true candidates at the moment. I own both. If I use Scrivener then I use Mellel, but the convers...

Re: Chapter Word Count
Hi Everyone, This thread has been going for over six years, yet these rather basic functions have still not been implemented.
