I could not establish whether this has already been reported on this forum, so here it is just in case.

I had trialled PageFour some time ago, but it was an “also-ran”. I intend trialing the latest version that has now been released as a “Sunset” version for $Free.
I am also interested in the forward design/development of Atomic Scribbler

Hats off to the developer for releasing PageFour like that. Excellent marketing strategy that probably has - or will - earn much kudos and Internet karma and is already generating interest in Atomic Scribbler.

Let’s hope that he’s more skilled in programming than he is in building a website. I normally at least give such programs a trial but, this time? Uh, no.

I didn’t have a problem with the website - seen better, seen worse - but I didn’t like his snooty dismissal of Microsoft Word as a writing tool. It’s not an ideal writing tool, but for the vast number of writers, it *is* a writing tool, and it’s *their* writing tool. Why get off on the wrong foot by telling potential customers that they’ve been doing it all wrong, and they should have known better. It doesn’t help when the salvation comes in a package named “Atomic Scribbler”...

The software itself seems to do what it claims to do, though it’s sluggish to launch.

PS. He didn’t build the website. It’s a $15 Bootstrap theme:
