It's very easy to move list items around and reorganize them however you like, and it's easy to edit notes. ![]() These can be expanded or contracted, and you can zoom in deeper so the note fills the whole screen. This gives you a text box attached to the list-item where you can put as many words as you want. if you let your mouse hover over the little dot next to each list-item, you'll see an option to add a note.

I write everything using markdown, so all I need is plain text to keep track of my italics and bolding. I keep one big rolling document there for the whole week, which helps me keep track of my writing productivity, and I use hashtags to create headings between scenes and snippets. I recently switched from using an Alphasmart Neo for most of my writing to a chromebook, and after experimenting with several things, I ended up using a few different apps combined together.įirst, I do my writing on Writer: The Internet Typewriter.
