Frustrated by the document editors of his day, kidko set out to write something that does exactly what others don't: automatically manage chapters and sections with ease, track characters, motivation, and plot. All within the realm of Open Source Software.
Current Milestone: 0.3
ProBook
An application tailored especially for book and story writers, ProBook is still in early (pre-alpha) development stages. Plans are in place to include a variety of functions, including strict control over the fonts used for chapter headings, the title page, and the body text itself. Control of a similar amount is available over the page size, ranging from US Letter, to half-letter (resulting in two pages per sheet of paper), and Size A paperback sheets. In addition to the PBOOK file format itself, which will hold all of your book's information, non-ProBook users can read your book when you export it to the common PDF format, or as a web-capable HTML document. And there are the specialized character management fields to track their motivation as both goals and likes/dislikes, and with notes for anything ProBook forgot.
