Feature Ideas

I LOVEEEE the new pride theme, it is so cute!! As someone who uses a screen constantly I just won't be able to manage the brightness even though I love the color scheme. Adding a dark option for this would be so cool and easier on the eyes for those of us who are prone to headaches and such! I love the rainbows and it certainly made it more fun to have to sit down and do words today!

We can create drafts of the main work, but there's no option to split a single, larger work into chapters (that we can then make drafts of) so that we can work and edit chapter-by-chapter.

Allow writers to manage custom dictionaries to include / exclude specific words from spell check.

Hi Ellipsis team, I think it would be a great option to enable the ability to set a password. I find it a little arduous having to log in with a code sent to my email every time. This is the best writing software I have used for my needs so it would be great to see this feature added. Keep up the good work!

A timeline creation tool to help organize key plot events, worldbuilding, and planning.

It would be nice to be able to personalise screen themes. I'm dyslexic, and having the ability to set the page colour to the shade of blue I like would be fantastic.

An interactive board for story plotting. Writers could map out plot threads, characters, worldbuilding details etc. in a visual "whiteboard" tailored specifically for storytelling.

I primarily write in the Google Docs App on mobile/tablet, so that’s the kind of experience I’d be looking for in a substitute.I write almost every day and collaborate frequently with an editor and would really like to find an alternative to google.I was hoping this would be it, but without a robust mobile option, I just don’t know if this will be the best fit.

What it says on the box, sharing the folder would be so useful rather then sending individual docos

When I’m working with 3 or more people, sometimes certain comments are meant for one collaborator to see and It would be great if we could tag them for faster access.

An option to share a document with another user with strictly commenting permissions rather than commenting and editing permissions would be awesome.

I would love to have the concept of pages in Ellipsus. When editing a big work, I want to refer to its page number—it makes it easier to find a passage and pick up where you left off. When exporting into PDF and printing my work, I want to adjust the margins and preview it before exporting—this saves me time and gives me control over the layout (we love aesthetics, right?).

I (and many writers I know) appreciate having a native PC app. For me, it allows me to work without having reliable internet and push/share changes once I am back online. It also is beneficial to have an app that lives in my toolbar that I can open that doesn't have the option for me to get sidetracked by search windows I'd forgotten about, impulsive whims, etc. It creates a more seamless work experience all around.

A highlighter, both for general highlighting, and a way to share the highlighted text in chat so that collaborators can discuss about said highlighted text.
