CARDS with summaries

Feature RequestWeb app

I am a long-time user of Scrivener and Novel Crafter, making my way over to Sudowrite. I have found the program quite helpful and intuitive. I suggest a few things

1. I see that you have a CANVAS set up; however, information does not port over, forcing you to reconstruct everything. This makes it not user-friendly. It would be invaluable if each chapter of a novel could be condensed to card size, with a summary. Allowing for ease of moving content. Additionally, it would be helpful to have a notes or research section where you can gather your content and pull in references as needed, while also having the option not to select it as a reference to export or include in the reference for writing. Lastly, the “more tools” feature is disorganized and duplicated, which does not make sense. It would be ideal for the features to be organized and clear.

    Thanks for this feedback! We're taking it into consideration. Canvas is still in beta, so it may take a bit of time for everything to work properly there.

    Currently, the best place to put the summary of each chapter is in the Outline section. You can also create an extra Worldbuilding card for personal notes, use a separate document, or even keep these notes in a conversation with the Chat box (on the right side of the page).

    You can organize the More Tools menu by using the option Reorder this menu…, and even remove items you no longer want to see. I hope this helps with the duplicates you're seeing. If you'd like additional assistance, you can write to us at hi@sudowrite.com, we'll be glad to help you there.
