   Hello #WritingCommunity
   I bought Scrivener when it first launched 10000 years ago and now wonder if I should buy the latest version. Just wondering though: What does #Scrivener have that ordinary word-processing software like Word doesn't have? Any notable new features that makes it special? Does it produce passable epub files? (Back then it had a lot of problems doing so and I often had to use another software)

   Ps: am planning to write a webnovel with it.

     @annewalk yea I will do that. I realised that the deciding factor for me is that it exports to epub efficiently. If it does that well I will get it for sure. Obsidian is great for organising my notes about my stories, but maybe this should be separate

     @liztai I’d recommend downloading a trial version from the site and checking it out for yourself. I’ve used it since it was in alpha. I like it for longform writing. It’s feature rich which some people love (I do) but some people find it daunting. #scrivener
