![]() ![]() I use it as a daily task list,a calendar, a reference source, a word processor, a database. I've gradually migrated the entire novel I'm working on currently from Scrivener to Obsidian, as well as all the myriad of notes I had on Evernote and OneNote. When sharing to Obsidian, the app even asks if I want to add it to my daily note, add it to Capture (since its learned that I use that note a lot),or choose another note I want to import it to. Personally I feel the streamlining of that process is more than enough. Then each morning I open that note and move what I've captured into the various other notes in my vault, integrating it with links and what have you. What I do is simply have a note called Capture, into which I just drop whatever I want to grab when on the go. It’s just the things you pointed out aren’t really the hard parts. To b clear, I’m not saying an Android port is easy. Ie, macOS -> Android is theoretically much more straightforward than macOS -> Windows (windows is kinda on its own island of uniqueness versus basically everything else in the world which is some level of Unix-y) Basically java bytecode is just used as an intermediary packaging format rather than what the device actually ends up running.Īlso, the fact that Android is based on the Linux kernel is actually kinda irrelevant, because what matters most is the POSIX interface that both macOS and Linux share. ![]() Even for Java SDK apps, at install time, they’re now a days compiled to native binaries for speed and efficiency rather than run through java. The ‘N’ stands for ‘native’ and provides all the same interfaces as the SDK except in the form of C libraries instead of Java. ![]() Just an fyi, you can distribute and run Qt/C++ projects just fine on Android using the officially provided Android NDK. In the meantime your best bet is to use File -> Sync -> Sync with External Folder (in Scrivener) to keep your Scriv project in sync with a folder tree on Google Drive or something, and to work in Markdown, so that you can then edit your synced folder tree using any text editor on Android and haul the changes back into Scrivener on your main system. Your takeaway is that Scriv is a very large, rapidly moving target and trying to add support for a new OS while at the same time replacing the file syncing back end would be a really bad idea for a small company (especially when, to be blunt, Android isn't a terribly profitable platform for third party apps). (And last time I looked at the Lit'n'Latte blog Keith seemed to be implying a major move to Swift/SwiftUI was in the works - a language and UI toolkit that doesn't really exist on Android.)Īlso bear in mind that Scriv's main file sync platform is Dropbox but Dropbox is undergoing radical changes at the moment, partially forced by Apple and Microsoft both pushing rival syncing/cloud products and trying to tighten their platform security - and neither iCloud nor OneDrive were historically suitable for syncing projects consisting of hierarchical directory trees plus metadata (which is what Scrivener uses). and it ran to several hundred pages just for syncing.īear in mind that Android is largely implemented in Java on top of a heavily modified Linux kernel, while Scriv is implemented in C++/Qt on Windows and something else (presumably in C++) on macOS and iOS. IIRC Keith alluded to the first step in making the Scriv 3 Windows port being to write a full functional specification document for how the file format and file syncing had to work. Scrivener is an enormous, complex program. It took Lit'n'Latte about 3 years to get a viable port of Scriv 3 to Windows out there, with two full-time programmers working on it. Scriv for Android ain't happening any time soon. Scrivener is the go-to app for writers of all kinds, used every day by best-selling novelists, screenwriters, essayists, students, academics, lawyers, journalists, translators and more.
