Some friendly quick notes, without even taking the program for a spin:
The name sounds awfully similar to Scrivener, which originally got me excited. I would assume the owners of that (proprietary) software would not be thrilled if they perceive you as trying to to take a free ride on their brand (I’m not assuming that is your intention, just mentioning how they might react; I have no interaction with them though)
In the README.md file in the GitHub repo I see the variable instead of the project name – I don’t know if that was intentional on your side or not, but thought you might want to know :)
The R support and variable replacements is pretty cool, but for my personal use I can get pretty close to that in Kate as well. What would really set it apart is if you could apply the variables in a grammatically sane way – for English that may be pretty simple, but for any language that has more complicated cases (e.g. my native tongue has 6 cases, 3 genders and 8 declensions), a simple search and replace would not do. Which is why outside of – in that aspect – grammatically simpler languages writing assists are typically quite horrendous. Now if you could tackle that, it might actually be a killer feature.
Other then that, it does look really slick and I definitely see how it would fill a need for some people (just probably not for me at this stage). Thanks for sharing and for working on this!
