An awesome text editor for authors.

For end-users

Sorry! There isn't much to show off yet. But be sure to check the github releases soon!

For developers

Novelist is entirely written in Rust, and as such uses the cargo build system. Make sure you have Rust installed on your system before proceeding. You will need a nightly compiler version which is newer then 2018-09-15.

There is a lot of documentation about the internal workins right in the code. You can use cargo to generate easily readable, local web-pages from it.

$ cargo doc --document-private-items --open

If you want to help out with an issue, make sure to let someone know. We might be able to help you – if you want. The code itself follows some very rigid structures so make sure to look at how other types and components are laid out before writing anything.

And always make sure to test your code with cargo test 😉

Code of Conduct

We have a code of conduct and it's documented here, which is the Contributer Covenant. Be nice!

Novelist is free software, licensed under the MIT/X11 license. This means you are allowed to do pretty much whatever with the project that you want. In any case, be sure to read the LICENSE file to make sure.
