Feature Ideas

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.

✅ Support writing offline 🚧 Support offline navigation 🚧 Support offline merging 🚧 Support offline version history 🚧 Support offline doc / draft creation

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

It would be really nice to be able to embed images in the documents. I do a lot of technical writing for our company blog and we often use images to help illustrate ideas we are trying to explain

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?).

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.

I think we should have a screen reader mode for people using Ellipsus who are dyslexic or blind and cannot read documents that people write on in certain fonts & etc

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.

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.

A dedicated outline panel separate from the Table of Contents, allowing writers to draft and reference chapter summaries, prompts, and outlines while writing. The outline would remain visible/editable, so writers could remove or update sections as the progress.

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.

I think an option to split screen in the window between two drafts would be really helpful. I love the UI and all the interface we have so far, but as someone who sometimes starts clean for drafts, it would be really helpful to be able to have two documents/drafts open at a time and type in those drafts so that I can look between them and find what I want to change more easily.

We can create drafts, but so far it seems like all drafts are just listed in a random order? It'd be great if we could drag and drop drafts in the left-side dropdown to organize them.
