Hey everyone. Over the summer I've built my own writing app partly as a programming exercise and in part because I wanted to take my mind off not being able to write while I was stuck at home during the quarantine. It's in an almost-finished state now and I hope some of you might get some use out of it.
I've always been a big fan of Q10 and I built my app by using it as a template. It's a full-screen, distraction free and minimalist app with some additional features like being able to store and tag notes inside the app in a - hopefully - intuitive manner.
I also implemented the word-finding website
OneLook directly into the app that's available at the (double) click of a button. However, this unfortunately requires an additional but easy setup step to install openSSL to access the word-finding API. If for any reason you have openSSL already installed, the feature should work right away. I also included an easy link to install openSSL in the help card which you can view by pressing F1.
You can download the latest version
here [Link approved \o/].
Simply extract the folder and launch the .exe file inside. Click Ok if it asks you to configure a new database the first time. Press F1 inside the app for help and shortcuts.
That's it! I'm preemptively sorry for any bugs that you might find inside as I'm still trying to iron most of them out, especially with the notes system. I hope it helps some of you with your writing process and I wish you the best with your writing :)
p.s UnderTheSheets is a temporary name because I suck at naming anything.
