What tools do you use for writing? (self.writing)

Was curious to see what tools everyone uses for both writing and storage.

Personally I use Word for writing, Excel for planning and progress tracking, and a local MediaWiki server for note taking.

What about you?

I use Legendkeeper. I used to use Obsidian but it got too overwhelming for me because I kept tinkering with plugins and CSS appearance snippets. the dataview plugin is awesome though, as someone who came originally from using Notion for everything.

I don't really recommend Notion anymore, but I do still use Obsidian for journaling and writing if I'm doing it solo. so between Legendkeeper and Obsidian for me, it's just preference. I feel like LK is capable of handling things that aren't ttrpgs, even though it was it's intended purpose, I think.

+1 for obsidian. it's very easy to get distracted with tinkering around but dataview is amazing. being able to query your notes like a database is so great

I'm planning on trying Obsidian for my next project. I've been using it to keep notes on my WIP already though.

What I'm currently using is SmartEdit Writer which I wouldn't actually recommend to anyone. It doesn't really have a ton of support, but it does enough that I'm not going to take the time to migrate my current project.
