Feature Ideas

I'd love to get a sneak peek of existing templates before choosing to add one to my dashboard.

more templates unrelated to story-planning. For example, templates for writing CV, taking meeting notes, and preparing blog posts.

A template that allows you to outline all the chapters of a longer story and keep them all in one doc would be really nice. Maybe each chapter outline could be linked to specific chapter outlines.

This may be out of the scope for Ellipsus, but allowing communities to share their templates may be beneficial. I’m thinking something similar to template sharing function on Notion, or one akin to sharing pre-coded Tumblr’s blog themes.

I'm writting a story with a magic system and i'm having trouble remembering everything that is needed to make a magic system work. Like Rules for magic use. Laws around magic Magic interaction Social rules around magic

a tabletop rpg planning template might be nice, stuff like outlining plot points, having notes on npcs and locations, info the players might need to know or items that might need notes on how they work, somewhere to keep track of encounter details, things like that so it can be organized. I'm a bit new to tabletop stuff and running campaigns, and I want to have somewhere I can keep my plans and update them as we go along.

I think a crossover template could be fun. Something to plan out which characters from which media (tv shows, books, etc.) are going to interact with each other, what the premise is that brings them together, character dynamics, and what things change in the world as a result of these two fandoms coming together.

Context: I write primarily short stories and tend to have specific sections for the draft and notes and such. I know I can make different documents for these but I like having them in one document because these are typically short stories and it would make things too unwieldy to manage all those separately. Ideally, it'd be nice to be able to create a document and set it as a template. That way when creating a new document from the dashboard, I could select either a blank document or a template. Alternative solution: Have the ability to duplicate a document from the dashboard (i.e. the 3 dot sub menu for each document has Rename, Move, and Delete - having a Duplicate option could be an quicker win perhaps)

First impressions are everything! So, perhaps a template for planning out how a certain character will be introduced and when?

It'd be nice to have a template to use for worldbuilding that would help us keep track of information regarding new mythical races/species. Things ranging from their physical appearances, culture and customs, social norms, and history.
