It's finally here: OpusWriter 1.0, and I can't thank all of you early-access members enough. The bug reports and the feature ideas have been instrumental in getting us here. So thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Where a lot of the other updates packed in lots of new functionality, 0.9.9 β 1.0.0 has been mostly about stability improvements, fixes, and subtle changes. But here are a few recent additions:
We already had Typewriter and Focus modes and a Dual Screen option. Now a Continuous mode flows all your chapters and scenes into one scroll, so you can read and edit the whole book at once.
A new Compact option (Workspace Settings β Display) slims down the top header and the workflow bar to give more of the screen to your manuscript.
Don't worry, there's a long list of features planned, and y'all are adding to it almost every day. LOL.
If you're enjoying OpusWriter and would be up for a short testimonial that could go on the website, I'd be grateful. Please reach out to me at wesley@opuswriter.app. Feel free to include an attribution like "[your name], author of [your book or series]," or however you'd like to word it. Thank you all again! ~Wesley Watts
