For those who do write novels, books etc. What software do you use? What format? FOSS or proprietary?

    I recently saw a blogpost somewhere, where someone used git versioning for writing, and I find this idea highly intriguing. Then I realized, that I already have an app that would allow me to work like this: NotesHub

    For now, I only started a journal, but I plan for some time already to start writing again.

    Obsidian is great too, but a pain when it comes to syncing on iOS.

      I use git for writing. It’s fantastic. You can use branches to try different ideas and approaches and merge it into your main branch once you’re sure of the direction you want to go.

      You can use git to sync Obsidian repo. You get the best from both solutions.
