Arrow v2 is out!
New v2.x release introduces many quality-of-life improvements and new features, including a new History System, and a useful Character Tag System with full console, inspector, and runtime support. For more details browse change-log and the project's Wiki.
One way is to create your narrative in Arrow, then export and use it as a database for your runtime/interpreter. The official HTML-JS runtime is based on the same idea. Arrow uses this runtime to create playable exports (mainly for play-test and review). Yet it means you can use this runtime (with customization) to export text-adventures directly from the editor as well. Another way is to create multiple chapters, scenes, etc. and export them as assets for your game (e.g. each scene or branch as a dialog-tree for your RPG).
The repository and website include an overall screenshot. You can use Arrow online (web-app) and check things in action as well.
Yes, it is developed in Godot v3.x and in GD-Script (everything but the official HTML-JS runtime used by the editor to export playable files).

Any Tips on Good Narrative Design Software for a Nonprogrammer?
JSON is just a text file with some specific conventions to be easily readable by other programs. Though, I took a look at the Inky's JSON export, and it's kinda convoluted. In your case Arrow might be a better fit. You can also consult with your programmer, since he'll be the person implementing your dialogue in game.

Arrow: Game Narrative Design Tool
Arrow v1.0.1 is released and now has the textual save preference I promised.
The HTML-JS runtime (bundled with Arrow) is the only one currently supported.
I've recently published Arrow v1.0.0. Arrow is a handy, free, open-source tool to design game narrative, develop text-adventures, or create any other kind of nonlinear interactive storytelling document.
