Should be a like an Editor (may be an addon to libreoffice, new app, addon nextcloud, etc.) _
Should be able to tag text passage with the Information from Worldscribe
Allow to set time, date and duration to a passage
with all these data allow to advice a the program to merrge all text passage taged with a character to ge his personal journey in the novel
Character Database could be Carddav (if desktop app) or should allow to subscribe to Carddav (if WebApp) _
Add a Map which allow to set the location of a character to a given Time
The map could either be a set of self made painted picture or a real world map (Openstreetmap)
could help to follow your characters through the storry

Maybe there is a person who create a desktop application. But this will maybe only a kind of port of Word-Scribe for pc. And maybe he plan to allow to export character profiles to word. But this all is a kind of mysterious. :D

@MarquisLP can I use the icons and images of the app for the pc version?

MarquisLP commented 4 years ago

@tostc could you share more details about this PC version? Not that I'm against it in any way, but I'm just curious about this 'mysterious' project :stuck_out_tongue:

Speaking of mystery projects, I suppose now would be a good time to formally announce that I and a few other developers have been working on a web app for World Scribe. We're close to releasing a closed beta and are currently seeking beta testers. If anyone here is interested, please email us about becoming a beta tester at: averistudios@gmail.com

@tostc so to answer your question, I'll say yes, you can use the Android version's image assets. However, to prevent possible confusion between that version and the web app (which will become the official "PC version"), I'd like to ask that you make it clear within your app that it's a fork developed separately from the main World Scribe effort.

@MarquisLP Oh thats nice there will be a Web App. The PC version I develop is at the moment only a "Port" of the mobile version where you only can edit and view world (Current Development state). I've written it in .net core and AvaloniaUI for cross platform compatibility. I plan features like exporting data to word and the vCard feature request of @Mannshoch. Thats my plan for the moment. Oh and the functions of the app. But when you have a web app version my version is may be unnecessary.
