Scriptorium is a text editor coupled with a planning tool and a publishing tool. The objective is to provide writers with a simple and complete environment to plan, write and publish e-books.
Scriptorium features are organised around three facets:
- Plan the list of scenes and story elements of the manuscript.
- Write the content of the scenes with a text focused editor.
- Publish your manuscript as an epub after previewing it.
In addition, some general features are:
- Dark mode
- Versioning of scenes managed via Git
- Back-end using plain text YAML and HTML files
