Mellel vs Copysmith

Overall, this is a great app. There are only 2 things I would like to suggest improving ... 1. the cursor behaves erratically. Very difficult to control using the keyboard and it dances around all over the place. 2. When adjusting the width of table cells, could it leave other unrelated and unconnected tables untouched? Exports great to MS word format.

Interesting alternative, and fromthe trial, seems more user friendly than say Scrivener. That said, it touts "By Academics for Academics" - disagree. Mellel is embedded with Bookends as the reference citation integration - Bookends is a non-starter for serious academics. Bookends does not allow for any importation of necessary style guides. Zotero has them all by default. If you need a specific style for your university.department, you are forced to suddenly become a code editor. --- When Mellel, Bookends or both coose to accomodate flexibility and realistic options, I'll try again. I need a viable alternative to MS Word and the other litany of stuff out there - not headaches, endless forum searches, and silly limitations when completing my PhD.

I've been aware of Mellel for several years, but have used Pages for all my writing: articles and books. Its nearly 2022, now, so thot I'd try Mellel instead of using Pages 11.2 and its changed format for me. As starters I've downloaded the Mellel demo and read several reviews, but no review I've read contains specifics as to how Mellel is better than Pages. I'd like some evidence that for a 300 page scholarly book Mellel is better than Pages. The book will have text and visuals, notes and index. I'd really appreciate someone taking the time to post specifics. Thank you. dbing

Copysmith helps me as a content writer for Web and social media. It helps me overcome writer's block and provides me with examples I can build upon. There is a wide variety of options from Blog heading generators to tools for writing social media ads. When generating a piece of content, Copysmith produces several different variations which can be copied and pasted into word docs, WordPress blogs etc. I have checked Copysmith's content for plagiarism and it has never been flagged up. It would be nice if it was possible to write an entire blog post with Copysmith.

I like the fact that it is one of the most affordable solutions. It also has great options for creating content for different needs, such as blog posts, product descriptions and website copies. It also has a new free-form editor that I am currently trying, which is a feature that I like with these types of software solutions. It makes it easier to create my copy without the need to have other documents. In addition, the organization of the files and projects is great.

It's been great. I especially like the Chrome extension that lets me grab information and write on the fly. The UI / UX is great and doesn't feel restrictive. Once you learn the basics it's easy to navigate and start writing your first piece. It's fast! I can use a variety of tools to get the ideas flowing, then expand upon them to create whatever content length I need.
