More people are writing on Ellipsus than ever beforeâand reading, too. (That's right, our new Reader links have made quite the splash!) With 400k writers in Ellipsus working on 4 million docs... whoever said "reading is dead" needs to take a look at these numbers! đ”âđ«
We've released dozens of features, improvements, and fixes since our last update. Here's your TL;DR in case you missed it!
Introducing: the Reader!
This month's crowning glory is the Reader. đ
Now, you can share Reader links to your work with friends and on socials. In the Reader, you can:
- Enable props to get appreciation from readersâwhen reading, show your love with the đ button!
- Enable comments and replies for fangirling and feedback. Add gifs, emojis, and spoilers for ye old internet vibes.
- Set the right access level (private, collaborators, public) and choose whether copying your text is allowed.
- Choose a theme for your audience to set the mood. Readers have the option to change themes, toggle accessible fonts, and more.
- You can also hide spoilers in Reader comments with formatting!
.docx Import and Export
Moving your work from GDocs & Word just got that much easier. Import your your docs quickly (one by one, or a bunch at once!), or export your docs to .docx whenever you want.
Importing your work just got a whole lot easier.
Document zoom
From 50% to 200%, get the right dimensions with independent browser & document zoom settings.
Zoom in on desktop or mobile!
Emoji picker
You can insert emojis in both editor comments and Reader comments using the emoji picker icon. (Or in a doc, just type a colon and the first three letters of your :favorite emoji: and see it materialize!)
All the emojis!
Other improvements
- Snippets now default to your current Ellipsus theme. Share away!
- You can hide text highlights in the Reader via the display settings (where theme editing lives).
- Navigating around the app got faster with rendering upgrades.
- Document & draft info has moved to the document card (it was formerly in the right-hand toolbar).
- We've fixed a number of bugs around sync and sync-warning banners.
- We're now posting Ellipsus tutorials & writing content on YouTube. Smash that subscribe >
Meanwhile, on the blog...
We took a hard look and deep-dove into the world Google built: the (lack of) privacy, (mis)use of our data, and the money that flows out of their surveillance machine.
Ellipsus exists, grows, and thrives thanks to the prolific, passionate, super creative, and slightly obsessive writers and readers (like you!)âproof that human creativity isnât going anywhere.
So keep writing, keep readingâthe LLM-industrial-complex doesnât stand a chance.
Happy writing,
The Ellipsus team
