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.

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?).

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

I always, always use the same formatting for all my documents. I like my headers a specific, way, I like my body font justified, etc. It would be really nice to have a way to set your personalized default fonts, alignment, preferences so I don't have to reformat all the time.

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.

It would be fun to be able to add a cover or thumbnail to our documents as a way to quickly tell apart our projects on the dashboard at a glance, especially for some of us pantsers who wait about titling our works until we're almost finished.

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 (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.

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.

it would be nice to be able to upload our own fonts! i for example use PT Serif almost exclusively, and it's a little jarring to be forced to use one of the built-in ones :)

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

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

Add an archive folder/section where completed/published work can be moved to for preserving. I find my list of works is really cluttered and it's strangely demoralising seeing works I know I finished in with "under construction" work.

The screen already does scroll as you type if your words reach the very bottom of the screen, but the format bar at the bottom gets in the way if your words go all the way down. You have to manually scroll every time your words get to where the format bar is. It's a very minor inconvenience, but it'd be helpful if the document began to scroll down as soon as your words reached the format bar just to keep the flow of writing going.
