I am in the writing-up stage for a research paper I have been working on for several months. I am trying Lattics out, but I became frustrated when there was no sync option for iCloud (I use a Mac) or most other popular cloud services other than OneDrive. So, I am using Scrivener and have found that it seems to get me through the job of writing. Looking back, Scrivener was the tool I turned to get my last research paper written. This time, I am making heavy use of the “Composition Mode”; a focus mode. However, I can understand why there are so many users frustrated with the compile features. I look forward to trying Lattics again when it is more developed. I have purchased a year subscription in the hope it does. :)
