@novlr C'mon #novlr writers, lets get this rolling. Who's out there?

I enjoy writing a lot. Mostly that is non-fiction blog post style stuff but I also dabble with fiction. Once I even finished NaNoWriMo with a novel I will humbly describe as a steaming pile of shit. But I wrote did write it! After finishing Asimov's "I Robot" I have decided to try to get into shorter fiction writing. As luck would have it the Novlr platform has a sale on their lifetime Pro membership and becoming a coop owner-member for a one time fee of $399. Even if I end up never doing more than dabbling I love the idea of helping fund a cooperatively owned enterprise that can help create a solid product for fiction writers. #writing #novlr #Cooperatives #WritersOfMastodon #art
Novlr: A writing workspace owned by our writers.

So for people scrambling to get off Google Docs, which seems to be overblown anyway, I just heard about #ButterDocs.

It looks really nice! Lots of inventive features.

It's $100 a year, as an introductory rate, which is about what I pay for #Novlr. Their "normal" rate is far more than I'd pay for a year for writing software.

I'm trying out #Novlr for #nanowrimo. I'm still backing up regularly to Scrivener, but it's nice that this app has a sync with the NaNo website so I don't have to worry about adding my word count manually.

It's a nice looking tool, though I don't think it'll replace Scrivener or Obsidian for me because I'm always going to trust my own backups more.

It's a big buggy on mobile, which I may get around to reporting. However, it works really nicely with the new Safari "add to doc" feature that lets you use a website as a desktop app, that way it can still be used distraction-free.

It looks like the #novlr #writer #coop is finally rolling out co-ownership: https://www.novlr.org/co-ownership

This is super exciting!

I've been of the belief for a while now that these kinds of orgs are better off doing things like this and making sure there is first an established business, slowly building up a community on the side, and only rolling out proper co-ownership once the org is "ready" for it and actually has a working product that exists. This is different from the approach of focusing mostly on the co-op/organizational stuff and treating the product and technology as a second priority.

What do y'all think?
