indentlabs / fiction-tools Goto Github PK

Hi!

I've enjoyed using https://wavemaker.cards in the past, and https://4thewords.com has helped to make writing routine. Both would be under writing tools/word processors, although Wavemaker has other tools as well (like cards and mindmaps).

Wavemaker is a free PWA that has an optional Google Drive sync (otherwise the content is saved in the browser database, so regular backups are advised).

4thewords is a gamified writing and publishing platform with a subscription model and a free trial.

A lot of people have requested a flag for which sites support Paypal payments, so this would probably be worth adding to each site's badge list.

Freeplane is a piece of mind mapping software. Open source and does its job fantastically.

Could it be added to the mind mapping tools?

Bug: The first time you hover over any element on the page that contains a tooltip with the Zoom transition, the browser console shows the following error:

index.js:1 Warning: findDOMNode is deprecated in StrictMode. findDOMNode was passed an instance of Transition which is inside StrictMode. Instead, add a ref directly to the element you want to reference. Learn more about using refs safely here: https://reactjs.org/link/strict-mode-find-node

We're specifying the Zoom transition as the Material-UI docs recommend. According to this StackOverflow question, it looks like a Material-UI problem; however, I'm still new to React so I don't understand how to incorporate the solutions.

It'd be nice to resolve this issue without removing StrictMode. Material-UI will eventually fix it in a future release, but it'd also be nice to have a solution in place in the meantime.

We're using the horizontal Stepper from Material-UI for our table of contents, which looks great on larger screens but isn't responsive.

For example,

The TableOfContents component has a renderRetro() method we could use to render a plaintext table of contents, but I'm not sure how to switch which method gets rendered based on screen size / device type at page load. We could probably also use CSS and media queries to style the stepper-style table of contents to look better on mobile devices.

I'm open to any good solution that 1) doesn't change the table of contents (much?) on large screens, and 2) makes it look better on small screens.

I like the aesthetic of using icons and tooltips to indicate various features on each tool, but they're basically unusable on mobile devices. It looks like you can technically long-press to show the tooltip, but it results in a bad user experience (appears under your thumb in the BadgeHighlighter component, and produces an extra browser popup on ToolCard components since they're also a link).

It'd be nice if, on mobile, we could show labels next to each icon. Since each tool stretches 100% width, we could have each tool badge on a new line with the label next to it. With the BadgeHighlighter component, it'd be nice to have something similar, where labels are displayed next to icons (and are also clickable) without cluttering up the whole screen too much.

NovelWriter is not in the list of writing tools.

It's a markdown writing tool, which has some features similar to scrivener (notably the tree-view on the right, which it calls project-view), but also a tag system, which allows the user to interconnect various texts. The tags are then used in the outline view.

It's open source and runs on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. The author is quite meticulous about the software being stable and performant.

Right now, highlighting/filtering tools works great for a single session, but it would be great if it changed the URL to make the filtered display linkable to others (for example, linking just downloadable apps to someone else).

To do this, we'd need to:

• Manipulate the page URL whenever a filter is toggled on/off
• Toggle filters on/off based on URL params whenever the page loads

Apparently they've shut down. RIP.

We should remove them from the list.
