Ah, I did love FoldingText. Mind you, I like Bike too – especially now that Jesse is talking about bringing it to iOS.

I was about to say, I too loved Folding Text and was delighted to find that it is still - somewhat - under development, with a fully working version is available for free - https://support.doubledogsoftware.com/t/is-foldingtext-under-development/1209

And then I followed bigspud’s recommendation and fully agree with him that Author seems to be a superb writing tool for ... authors (especially non-fiction/sort-of academic like myself).

So far I’m only using the free Basic, but only Export from the full version is missing, so it’s a great place to explore and start to get familiar with the options.
