I built an app for storytellers
I started working on this back in May/June. I was using Appwrite for the backend, which was fine for a while, but I ran into some problems, especially implementing auth with Next 13. A few weeks ago I stumbled upon Code with Antonio's notion tutorial and immediately switched to Convex for my backend. (I also copied some code).
I'm planning to continue working on this for the long term. So any feedback is appreciated.

you website its very hard to use
How?
what's hard about it?
project -> doucment -> add project
I don't understand
would you mine sending a screenshot
@Shinobi Nice. It's a good start. Have you thought about creating different prebuilt "templates" for different types of writers? An aspiring Mangaka might want a template that organizes arcs, compositions, colors and characters whereas an investigative journalist might want something more focused on sources and research
Wow, that's an excellent idea. I never thought about that and it makes alot of sense
I thought about something kinda similar like different elements blocks similar to Notion but its kinda intimidating to approach so I put it off for a little while
I'm definitely going to start working on that this week thanks again
@KinKon are you a writer of any kind?
Recently I did a similar thing in blocknote. The good news is that once you figure out how to do one, the other blocks will be easy. Feel free to ping me if you run into issues
Not really. Im probably not your target market
I looked at this and it's pretty cool, however noticed something I think should be addressed. Your settings modal says "Jotion". I've screenshotted that below:

I left in a snippet of the app for relevancy. ( see left )

I've just seen that you've fixed it, awesome job!
