I kind of liked it. Ended up siding against it because of the database format.

Written in Java w/ JavaFX.

Stores your text and data in an H2 Java database file. Good luck getting that stuff in to Git and hope you keep a lot of backups.

Ran in to issues where adding plot points would fail sometimes and mess up the GUI.

Outlines are for navigation only; you can't move them to reorg the story like in Manuskript and Novel Writer.

You can edit the way items are presented which is interesting. Making your own record types to suit holding details about items or characters in stories, adding fields to hold stuff related to the story. You can edit the templates and see what is or isn't written in the other items.

There is a service to invite editors to come look at your manuscript and comment in real time. I did not try to use it.

Only exports to Word or ePub, no config settings here.
