@megabyteghost if i didn't have SetApp i probably wouldn't use it at all. i have weird mixed feelings about TypingMind too, also in SetApp!

#Witsy is a linux/macOS/windows swiss army #AI tool that has image generation canvas, text generation pad/chatbots, and #RAG via Document Repositories. and you can use local embeddings and still have cloud LLMs able to work with you. dope. the speech feature is normally great but not working for me at the moment.

here's the clever workbench #editor:

i'm a huge fan of Drafts.app. it's like Step 1 of almost every communication or journal entry or post or idea. it's such a great piece of software and there isn't one like it for windows except this comes close in terms of keybind to make it pop up, you can paste whatever you're working on in there and you have quick access to revisions, personas, actions, it's a great scratchpad and compose window AND it is already plumbed for ollama/lmstudio/openai/gemini/deepseek and then openrouter which is essentially everything. it's an amazing text workbench. YES workbench, that's exactly what it's like. well done, emory.

This also points to the need to pay a HUMAN Editor instead of relying on only #AI or grammar-checker software to "edit" the book. Human eyes would have caught this. Chatbots and #Grammarly are NOT a full replacement for a paid #Editor . "Self-editing" does NOT replace a human Editor.

Humans will catch other things that AI tends to miss, like:

* A character's eye or clothing color changing mid-paragraph.

* Info dumps (NEVER use them).

* Overuse of the same word.

* Too much tell, not enough show.

* Homonymns and other words that spell-checkers won't catch.

* Inconsistent punctuation style.

* Paragraphs that REALLY need to be broken up.

* The most problematic issues with "self-editing" are the sentences where YOU know what you meant, but the reader will be confused.

A good #editor does far more than spellcheck. They are well worth their cost. A quality book uses human Editors.

Sigil Ebook Editor is now easier for Linux users to run.

Sigil 2.5.0 has just been released. Sigil is a superb editor for epub ebooks, and is available on Linux, Mac and Windows.

This latest release provides the first Appimage for Linux users. Up until now Linux users have had to build from source or get a build from a repo or flatpak, but now the Appimage makes it very easy to download and run this editor.

#microsoftedit #microsoft / #Edit We all edit.

github.com/microsoft/edit?tab= simple editor for simple needs.

This editor pays homage to the classic #msdos #editor but with a #modern interface and input controls similar to #VS Code. The goal is to provide an accessible editor that even users largely unfamiliar with #terminals can easily use.

Well, I'm desperate, so here we go...

If anyone is in need of a copywriter or knows of any openings, I need a job. I've got 18 years of copywriting/copyediting/communications experience across a range of industries.

Remote positions are preferable."
