Any of you guys ever use this writing software? The price is right…

Hi Tom.
Nope, I don’t know StorYBook, thanks for pointing it out. I watched the demo. It reminds me a little of another JAVA app which I own and love - SuperNoteCard http://www.mindola.com/snc/index.html
SuperNoteCard’s treatment of character/setting etc. is different, but the storyboard feature is similar. I prefer SNC because it’s the next best thing to index cards :)
BTW if you like index cards you could sneak a peek at ndxCards http://www.ndxcards.com/index.asp

Hi, Michal.

Thanks for the response. I have looked at these programs in the past and they do, in fact, look like they would fit my needs. Though I don’t mind paying for good software, the full version of neither is entirely free (I think Super Note Card does have a free version, though).

What caught my eye was that StorYBook was that its cross platform, specifically that its Linux compatible. I believe its also open source. I was just curious to see if anyone had any experience with it and how it measured up to other offerings before I downloaded it and started doing any serious work with it. There was a time when I’d download and try anything at the drop of a hat. But I’m at a point right now where I just don’t do that anymore without good reason to believe its going to work.

Thanks, again.
