manuskript VS client

I want to use Manuskript (https://github.com/olivierkes/manuskript) since the novella that I am writing is not very linear, so I though this program will help me. Instead of trying to write on Ms. Word or G-docs.

A free writing tool that I use (a lot) is Manuskript (works well on both Windows and Linux): https://github.com/olivierkes/manuskript

I'll jump on the wagon to promote manuskript. It's technically still in alpha, but it's functional enough to work with, and getting more people interested might help the development. It's open source and cross-platform and has lots of interesting features (some of which I still don't know how to use).

More information here: https://github.com/olivierkes/manuskript/issues/942

Manuskript is a good writing tool imo.

Manuskript

I suggest either Manuskript or, as mentioned, Scrivener. If you can deal with the Markdown formatting, Obsidian is an extremely powerful solution, albeit at a steep learning curve.

In re-reading your post, it occurred to me that you might also want to look at parallel/ horizontal outliners like gingko https://gingkowriter.com/ or https://gingkoapp.com/ (there was talk of a desktop app) https://wavemaker.co.uk/blog/wavemaker-version-3-is-live Evergreennotes https://evergreennotes.com/ (I believe it is inspired by https://andymatuschak.org/ technique). speare.com and https://transno.com/ and https://innos.io are similar in look and feel (same development team I believe)

I haven't used this on a document as large as the final PhD manuscript, but I feel like it might be helpful to you: https://gingkowriter.com/
