Another great video Mariana.
I use it since 2014 and the way it allows me to keep everything organized made it my first choice for everything, not necessarily just books. But I sure love it for research papers and to write my thesis. The first week of my PhD I told my colleagues all about it and why they should get it. It’s fantastic.
I use it to organize my life and goals too.

A good quick intro to Scrivener - just showing the main aspects you are interested in as a writer. Very informative. I have been using Scrivener for a while but the draft mode is a new one to me. I didn’t know it would do that ( the different colours). Thank you.

That is the most powerpacked intro to Scrivener that I have ever seen. Thanks! I am getting back into the app to organize the notes and transcripts for a weekly Feldenkrais workshop that I am teaching. And I think Scrivener will excel for that. Peace.

Hey Marianna, Thank you for the video, and as always its fun to learn some new stuff and things you share from your experiences. :)

Thanks Mariana, that is a great intro to the best part of Scrivener, which is to organize and give structure to your chapters, sections and notes in a project. That is the main reason I was a heavy user, though I also loved iA Writer for its simplicity that helps you focus just on writing rather than get distracted with formating and plenty of complex features, that are a bit too much for beginners... I recently switched to Wababai (I am biased) which combines simplicity with the same organization as Scrivener, but also availble on mobile iOS/Android for dictating and it is free if you don't need the AI features. Would love your views on it.

Looking for an alternative since, while I like Dabble, getting tired of subscriptions and their lifetime subscription is way too expensive.

I love Scrivener! I have it on two different laptops and my iPad.

I found this video a bit thin...I was looking for more of a big picture 'why should I use Scrivener' instead of a 'how do you use Scrivener'

Scrivener don’t sync with iCloud. But Ulysses does. Easy choice.

Thank you, there are useful hints. However, it seems to me that what you are telling is partly different from what you are showing on the screen at the same time.
