Current thoughts

I guess I’ve been trying to re-create Scrievener, with ALL these branching, versioning, etc – without know that Scrievener exists.
Now I feel that I’m quite far from getting my idea made true; esp. if it s Crowdly platform, desktop, web (and mobile, which are yet to come) apps.
Scrievener is quite complex and what I’m trying to do is what Scrievener does, on a broader scale: Crowdly platform, web app (which Scrievener doesn’t have) additionally to desktop and mobile apps (which Scrievener have)
At time it feels overwhelming and to be honest at times my motivation plummets, esp. in those moments when I clearly undertand who I got myself into.
If I **consciously** knew about Scrievener earlier*, prior to starting this project, I would’ve approached this project differently

* I’ve heard about it before, but unfortunately never bothered to take a closer look, untill I’ve repeatedly seen on Reddit, that Scrievener is by far the most often recommended writing software – and I absolutely understand why that it the case.

The desktop app we did is quite good by now**, however it is miles away / behind Scrievener.

** (take a look onto our) master document functionality !!!

2025 year-end results

Year-end results

In that almost ended year I:

almost moved to Algarve (south Portugal) and got pneumonia there
I didn’t stay there because of financial reasons
created MVP for Crowdly – multi creator / crowd created entertainment entertainment platform
https://github.com/leoloveisme/crowdly
first time was in Croatia and lived / discovered croatian island life for a while
I very much liked Croatia. Maybe some day I’ll travel there more and discover more of the country.
bought an electro-piano and made some progress in my musical literacy (incl. music theory)
In fact, I’ve probably advanced more in music theory, than in playing the instrument itself.
moved forward a little in creation of the story of Veronika – the continuation story of Veronika and Eduard from “Veronika decides to die”
