    writing software alternatives

    thought i would try asking here since i know there's a lot of fellow writers here! 🙂‍↕️ i'm trying to move away from using google docs as a place to write my stuff, and i'm currently using ellipsus. however, it doesn't have a feature to create footnotes, and as a nonfiction writer i really need to use them, especially when i'm writing drafts so i've figured it's a bit of a dealbreaker for me. does anyone have any suggestions for an ai-free online writing software?

    i've seen scrivener floated around as an alternative, but you have to download it and pay for a specific license after 30 days, and i don't want to be tied to just my laptop and i'd rather avoid having to download extra software for it, especially just for a free trial. i already use libreoffice instead of microsoft office which i could use, but i prefer the cloud storage/functionality of google docs based on how i use my various devices. i also briefly tried obsidian but i felt like it had a bit of a steep learning curve as it's entirely markdown based, and i felt like i spent more time googling how to use obsidian/markdown than i did actually doing any work. it also took up quite a lot of storage space on my laptop, which is another reason why i'd like to avoid having to download more software.

    i feel like i'm looking for something super specific and i've already tried a few alternatives so it might not exist yet, but thought i'd put it out there to see if it does! i don't necessarily mind paying for the software if it has the features/useability i'd like. i paid for obsidian sync for way too long before i finally admitted to myself i was not going to use it enough to justify paying for it 💀

    There is an audio version on TIDAL read by the author himself.

    The album is called: « Albert Camus - l'étranger (texte intégral lu par l'auteur) »

    Nan, mais c’est trop bon, ce livre ! J’adore comme la mère parle sans mâcher ses mots 😂 Un cauchemar pour quelconque enfant pubertaire, mais comme amie, elle serait rafraîchissante.

    Enjoyment: 3.5Quality: 3.5Characters: 3.5Plot: 3.0Audiobook: 4.5

    Çok ilginç bir kitap… Aslında ben bunu, Büyülü Gerçekçiliği sevdiğim ve çeşitli Türk yörelerinin gelenekleri hakkında bilgi edinmek istediğim için okudum, ama kitap hem çok sayıda tanımadığım, bilemediğim sözcük içeriyor, hem de hikâye ilk çeyrekten sonra sürükleyip götürüyor insanı.

    Hikâye, çok acı, ciğerlerim insanların birbirine çektirdikleri zulümlerden kabara kabara bir hâl oldu. Arada sırada ise, kimin neyi kiminle yapıp yapmadığını karıştırıp öykünün sıçrayışını tam algılayamaz oldum. Ama acı olmasına rağmen, komedik bir şekilde anlatılmış. Bu açıdan, İtilmiş ile Kakılmış’ın komiklik anlayışına benzemiş sanki.

    Hem bu yüzden, hem de bahsi geçen tanımadık sözcükleri not düşüp tarif edilen yöreleri gelenekleri de temize çekip üzerine araştırmaya koyulmak istiyorum.

    Hâlâ daha kitaba hayrân vaziyetteyim. Okumanızı öneririm.

    Böyle annesi olanın düşmana ihtiyâcı olmaz. Nasıl merhametsiz, çıkarcı, iğrenç bir insanmış; onu Azrâil bile istemez oldu.

    Dirmit’in değil eksik doğmamış olması, geri kalan âilesinin tümünün eksik olması ona asıl belâ.
