Oh wow, Edward is really neat!

I just tried writing a dummy novel in it, and I can definitely see what each feature contributes to helping me write, taking notes, and so on. The minimap is a nifty one, lets me get the picture of how my story is "shaped". The defaults on plans and outlines give a clear idea on what you should take notes of, particularly for beginners. And the analysis! :D

However I can see how things get out of hand if the features really pile up, so you might want to restrain a little and test it to potential users (if you are/have, then great!). Given the outline and plans are already present on the "Write" page, do you really need a dedicated "Plan" and "Outline" pages?

Overall, color me impressed!

Thanks a bunch, Bobby. I think "keep it simple" is always the right advice, but it's hard for me to know where to draw the line.

I've asked myself a few times if Plans and Outlines need their own pages. And for now I lean toward "yes," but I'm definitely entertaining arguments to the contrary.

Thanks for your compliments. I hope you'll stay in touch.
