WriteFlow

New features

admin — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 08:31:03 +0000

We slowly add new features and work on fixing bugs. One thing I’d like to show to you is the possibility to work with quotes which you’ve already entered. Now you can just select them and use the “copy to” command to send them to the document and the chapter where you need them.

Furthermore, with a double click on a quote in list view you can open it in an extra window and change it easily.

We also included the possibility to see all the notes you added to a document at once. You can just switch from the footnotes-window to the notes-window with a single click.

If you feel that one issue is more pressing than another, please let us know!

Update WriteFlow

admin — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 15:38:33 +0000

Just because it came up recently: If you want to try out WriteFlow, please make sure to do so with the latest version, which is, by today, version 0.906 beta. Please use the “Check for Updates…” command in the menu. If you have questions or propositions, I strongly encourage you to use the new forum. I do answer a lot of questions individually right now (which I enjoy and you should not hesitate to ask anything), but it would be nice to have some of those exchanges publicly available.

Extended trial period

To answer publicly a recurring question: If WriteFlow beta does not yet meet your needs we will hand out extensions of the trial period so you can give it another shot when you come back later. Just write an e-mail an tell us what keeps you from committing.

WriteFlow is public beta

More than two years ago we decided to create a flexible and powerful software that would integrate all the steps necessary to write an academic text. We thought of four stages oft the process in which such a program would have to excel: collecting source material, organizing ideas, the actual writing, and publishing the result.
Our next big step will be to implement the possibility to reciprocally link all of the elements with each other, to make one huge associative web that pictures your own thoughts and ideas and helps you to follow the traces of your research through time. The animated film we published a few months ago might help you to understand what we are going for.
We are proud to say that after two years of work we have reached an important milestone. The first public beta version that we offer for a free 30-day-trial today is still a far cry from what we envision for the future, but it is a solid base to build on. Expect exciting new features shortly!

By the way, while WriteFlow is still beta, we would like to offer a 10 Euro discount on the normal sales price. Just enter this coupon code: 033903.

Betatest update

admin — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:00:28 +0000

After a few weeks of beta testing we got some pretty interesting insight into our own work and we would like to thank everybody who participates.
What we really learned is that WriteFlow might (not yet) be as intuitive to use as we are hoping for. We imagine WriteFlow as a very easy to use word processor with all the other great features on top, but the whole element system requires some compromises and early adopters of WriteFlow will have to invest some time in learning how to use it.
We just hope people won’t give up too fast. Once you accept the demands of this way of writing you can become incredibly productive. Even more so with the features to come.
In the meantime, we’re working on a lot of bugs, rewrote the Inspector, implemented mouse control for the Command Tool, added fullscreen mode to the PDF and webarchive views, etc.
The new update will be out before the end of the week through the integrated update function.

WriteFlow Betatest

Last Friday, after a long time of development, we finally distributed a working copy of WriteFlow to those who contacted us in the last few months. If you too want to take a look at WriteFlow now, please contact us. It does not take any special skills, we are just interested in your opinion about what you see.

WriteFlow – shifting paradigms

Today we published this short clip which obviously does not show you the real looks of WriteFlow. It’s intended to give you a feeling about WriteFlow and its possibilities. Please tell us if you like it!

We would like to mention wert5.at, who created the animation, Bernhard Kuri, who wrote and performed the music, the post production by extrasolaris.com,, Alessandro Arico responsible for the WriteFlow icon and Benjamin Eisinger for the WriteFlow logo.
