Fonts/Chapters

A couple of questions! 1: Are there other fonts available for the starter plan? If so, how do I access them? 2: Is there a way to write in the chapters without seeing the next chapter below it? Like let’s say I have chapter 2 started but I’m not finished with chapter 1, can I write in just chapter 1, or am I always going to see the beginning of chapter 2 at the bottom of the screen? Thanks!

Mobile App

I know I seen at least one other request for this, just know, I dont mean this to overwhelm or anything like that. I just got this for my current manuscript and I'M IN LOVE!!! But unfortunately until I'm actually a published author (hopefully able to go full time) I have to keep my current job. I would love to be able to write on the go, at work, at families and not have to take my laptop or PC. While I'll mostly write on those an option for mobile would be so nice!!! I understand if couldn't flow exactly the same way but if its possible it would be a game changer for so many people! Much love and thank you for creating this amazing app!

Bug - Removed most of Word Count

I was typing in my story and I double clicked for the toolbar and clicked the scene break. I wanted to undo adding the scene break so I clicked Command + Z (I have a Mac) then my word count of the day dropped from ~800 words to 20 words. I logged out and logged back in and it still said 20 words. I did start typing again and it is counting my words as normal. Last thing I will mention is that I believe I have used the undo shortcut (Command + Z) successfully before so I am not sure what happened this time.

Save the Cat structure template

I didn’t see this in the list so feel free to delete if it is already there - would love a Save the Cat template! Here is a good link resource with the structure: https://www.savannahgilbo.com/blog/plotting-save-the-cat **Crazy additional want - a meter at the bottom which shows what percentage you are currently at (out of your goal word count) and what part of the Save the Cat beat you “should” be in — with the ability to turn on/off or drag the meter to extend or shorten a beat. Hope that makes sense!!

Updating icons next to scenes

I would love to have the ability to update the icons to the left of the scenes on the left-hand side of the manuscript page (see photo for what I am referencing. They could be emojis to represent your scene type (Love scene = heart, battle scene = swords etc.) OR emojis/icons to represent the stage that scene is in (not started, currently drafting, done drafting, editing, complete, etc).

Add picture in the note function?

Heyo, so this might totally be a thing and that I am to dumb to figure it out, but maybe it could be a cool feature to be able to add photos like art in the notes, I know that when I write I sometimes comission artists to make my characters “alive” so I can even better visualize when I write, so I thought that maybe others are like me? :)

Subscription button - order of information

Hi Tarryn. I recently upgraded my subscription to a paid one (yay!), but there was mild faff involved. Having clicked on the version I wanted to subscribe to, I wasn't directed to enter my payment info, then to process payment. Instead I had to go back to my profile, enter payment details (which I hadn't done when I subscribed to the free version), then go back to click on the subscription I wanted. Probably something worth making smoother 😊
