ELECTRICLEWIS  It's worth downloading this just to read the EULA - it's brilliant :D  
(Version 1.1.2)

ZX81  Apparently, the link to Jer's hut just disappeared ; I was connected to his site about an hour ago;

Anyone knows what happened ?

BAD JOBS - GOOD JOBS  Maybe someone should first have a look at the free "Bean"?

or for further needs have a look at the apps at "devon".

28 dollars, hahaha

SYHARRIS  Ok, this version installs and launches without a problem. Seems to be pretty stable, too.   
(Version 0.6.2.1)

SYHARRIS  Crashes immediately upon trying to launch. Redownloaded, but still crashes.

ZWS  Jer, Drop 1.0 on us if you want to accomplish financial gain or even general interest. Scrivener is taking the cake. Don't back down to competition, foster it. Also, Jer's is the best of the old-gen products: Ulysses, Avenir, etc. - Bring the beast back to the peak!

THINC  I've noticed there haven't been any reviews of JNW for about a year. That's too bad, since many folks would benefit from trying out this terrific app. I've been using 0.614 for the past three months and putting it through it's paces. The developer's objective was to create an app that helped him write without the distractions of Word and Word-like programs, as well as to give him the organizational flexibility to track, edit, and restructure story elements. Even in this beta version, he has succeeded remarkably well. The program is stable and a delight to use. Anyone working on a longer document, who is concerned more with writing than formatting, would benefit by giving it a try. Jerry is also very responsive to user community feedback. The whole experience has been a pleasure.

GAIJIN  The combination of a WORKING outliner (unlike the bizarre “outliners” in Copywrite and Ulysses, let alone Avenir, which don’t actually outline anything), dynamic database, floating margin notes and a few other features (e.g. good implementation of full screen), makes it a winner for me.

I’ve been writing in it for the last few weeks, and then suddenly decided to ‘try again’ Ulysses and CW... has’s been able to write a single scene in them, spending all my time fighting with interface.

I don’t think JNW is a knock-off of anything. The concept is quite novel.

And for now, it’s free...

ANONYMOUS  After five minutes with this application recently, I can see why the author still isn't charging for it. There are other alternatives. The top two (in order of excellence in my opinion) are CopyWrite and Ulysses. Ulysses has a vastly more flexible export system but it's overpriced, the interface is clunky (looks like a Java application ported from Linux, ported from Windows), and hasn't made much progress. CopyWrite has had some problems with annoying bugs the last few versions but nothing serious. It seems to be advancing regularly in features and performance and the price beats the hell out of Ulysses. With Jer's Novel Writer on the other hand, you're definitely getting what you paid for ...

ANONYMOUS  I wish I had found this sooner, before banging my head against the wall with other word processors.
