Extension summary

This is the latest version (Version 3) of the Wavemaker Novel Planning and Writing Software.

If you are a writer planning on doing nanowrimo you may also find this tool useful.

I have added some great new features in, and rebuilt from the ground up so that it's mobile friendly as well. It works as a Progressive Web App, so it can install locally to virtually any device (ChromeOS, Desktop, Windows, Linux, Android, iOs Mac- currently requires a setting to be enabled in chrome)

This extension simply works as a link to open the app quickly from your browser after you have installed it.

Works from local database with the ability to backup your database and import it to another device (or synch up to your google drive)

New features No Login Required! (You will have to authorise your google drive account if you want it to sync) Multi-level breaking down of chapters into scenes (and beyond) Research database, keep notes, upload images and link entries with hashtags!

The best. The design of the app is so simple and clean, love it man. Keep going!

As someone with ADHD who struggles to organize plot, this app is literally a godsent. It has so many ways of organizing and keeping track of things. Some things can even be tagged or color-coded! I'm smitten with the timeline feature; Been looking for something that does that without costing an arm and leg for literally ever. The Snowflake method was something new to me, but it's proven invaluable. The only problem I have is that sometimes the line spacing gets confused and doesn't update if I change it, or only semi-updates, or just kinda randomly switches around. Not a deal-breaker, but slightly distracting. My only suggestions are maybe the ability to add images into the writer, or places other than the database cards. I'd love to add pictures for various purposes (References, novel covers, decoration, etc.). Also, exporting chapter/section names in exported document versions would be cool, since right now it just exports titles as a "#" which makes navigating exported documents a bit of a hastle. Overall, though, this app is the best all-in-one story planner/writer I've ever used. And I've used a good few.

I would love to be able to give this 5 stars but it seems like every time it begins to look like something awesome, it ends up missing the ability to do basic things. It was designed in such a way that it reminds me of a kid drawing an airplane and then half way through goes "Heck with it... It's a bird" just because more work was involved. There is no way to format quotes in the documents. I can not upload any images. And when you try to upload an image to the mindmaps section, it doesn't allow to resize them. the mind map also has no ability to connect lines to other lines (only boxes and images to boxes and images) which limits that to a very basic state as well. There are no clear instructions for how to use some of these features which results in you spending much of your time figuring it out for yourself. It keeps popping up a message saying that my google drive account is not logged in and when I go to the main menu, it IS logged in. This thing started out to be the answer I was looking for until it became the nightmare I was trying to avoid....and I have no expectations that any of this will be fixed anytime soon (and this was only naming a few problems because I don't wish to go through the whole list if nothing is going to get fixed anyway).
