Deckle & EmberWrite

Is this getting a little ridiculous? I’ve now got 30 writing apps I’ve either reviewed or mentioned in other blog posts. It’s getting to the point where I can no longer keep track of which images belong to which apps and which ones have what features. Currently, the features I’m focusing on are: Bulletinboard/Outlining, Codex (ability to keep track of characters, locations, etc), Templates (for said Codex), Right-hand column (which shows notes, outline, or codex), Time-line, Formatting, Price, File location (local on your computer or online), and Notes. Once I’ve gone through all the apps I know of, I’ll put it up on my website and blog about it. If there are any other features you feel should be of note, please comment and let me know so I can add it to my table.

So, for today I’ve two new writing apps: Deckle and EmberWrite.

Deckle

I forget where I read this, but someone was talking about writing software online, so naturally my “ears” perked up. This person said that they used Deckle and would never go back to anything else. So, you know I had to check it out.
First off, there is no free trial period. You can download the software and get a tour, but if you want to actually try it out for yourself you have to buy it ($197, no subscription). There is a 30-day money back guarantee, however. The developers of the app were kind enough to give me a copy so that I could write a full review of the software.
Deckle is a Scrivener knock-off that is easier to use and seems to have more and easier to use features.
Like Scrivener, it…
