Alternatives to google docs

For various reasons, this is now a hot topic. I'm putting my favorites here, please add more in your reblogs. I'm not pointing to Microsoft Word because I hate it.

Local on your computer:

1.

LibreOffice (https://www.libreoffice.org/), Win, Linux, Mac.

Looks like early 2000 Word, works great, imports and exports all formats. Saves in OpenDocumentFormat. Combine with something like Dropbox for Cloud Backup.

2.

FocusWriter (https://gottcode.org/focuswriter/) Win, Linux.

Super customizable to make it look pretty, all toolbars hide to be as non-distracting as possible. Can make typewriter sounds as you type, and you can set daily wordcount goals. Saves in OpenDocumentFormat. Combine with something like Dropbox for Cloud Backup.

3.

Scrivener (https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener/overview) Win, Mac, iOS

The lovechild of so many writers. Too many things to fiddle with for me, but I'm sure someone else can sing its praises. You can put the database folder into a Dropbox folder for cloud saving (but make sure to always close the program before shutting down).

Web-based:

4.

Reedsy bookeditor (https://reedsy.com/write-a-book) Browser based, works on Firefox on Android. Be aware that they also have a TOS that forbids pornography on publicly shared documents.

My current writing program. Just enough features to be helpful, not so many that I start fiddling. Writing is chapter based, exports to docx, epub, pdf. You can share chapters (for beta reading) with other people registered at Reedsy.

5.

Novelpad (https://novelpad.co/) Browser based.

Looks very promising, there's a youtuber with really informative videos about it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHN8TnwjG1g). I wanted to love it, but the editor didn't work on Firefox on my phone. It might now, but I'm reluctant to switch again.

So, this is my list. Please add more suggestions in reblogs.

I think it would be incredibly emotionally fulfilling to hit someone in the back of the head really hard with a shovel

Why is every "not everything is cultural appropriation, god!" post so hostile towards proving poc wrong? You dont think racists fall back on:

"My Black friend said it was ok I wore dreads and say the n word"

"I can wear this cuz I'm 1/25th Native, and lived on a preserve"

"Well if Ariel can be any race, then Tiana, Mulan, and Pocahontas can be white then"

And then there's a mix claiming the only ones that care about cultural appropriation are white people, because "poc are way too smart to actually care about this, right my pocs" it's so demeaning

sorry talking about instagram (booo!!) but i had just seen an instagram reel of someone's recording of a train track sweeper (without the man's consent might i add) and the text edited on it was like "who did they want to be. what were their dreams?" and i just found it funny that people are acting as if it's an empathy skill power to be ignorant about the fact that other people can have dreams that doesn't heavily revolve around pertaining to the traditional idea of what people, or well society, finds conventional or fulfilling as a dream. who knows, maybe this aspect of his life is something that he wants to do, but it's funny that the thought is impossible to the people commenting on the post because his job is considered just "dirty" and "low" all while serving the public? would it be really that absurd that someone could find value or meaning in a job that doesn't "look" meaningful? would it really be that absurd that someone prioritizes survival of themselves or perhaps their family members over having a job that pertains to the idea of what looks fulfilling?

i dont know but anyways this man should've been left alone by people who overestimate their empathy. he should have been able to exist without people projecting what they find or what they don't find fulfilling for life onto him. he should have been able to exist without people making him their "humbling" moment.
