Writer is a word processor designed for elementary OS that lets you create simple and beautiful documents with ease.
Writer is still in the early development and is not available on AppCenter at the present, but in the future it may be. If you would like to test it now, you can do by building it.
You'll need the following dependencies:
- libgtk-3.0-dev (>= 3.22)
- libgtksourceview-4-dev
- libgranite-dev (>= 6.0.0)
- meson (>= 0.57.0)
- valac
Run meson build
to configure the build environment. Change to the build directory and run ninja
to build
meson build --prefix=/usr
cd build
ninja
To install, use ninja install
, then execute with com.github.ryonakano.writer
ninja install
com.github.ryonakano.writer
There are many ways you can contribute, even if you don't know how to code.
Simply create a new issue describing your problem and how to reproduce or your suggestion. If you are not used to do, this section is for you.
We follow the coding style of elementary OS and its Human Interface Guidelines. Try to respect them.
I accept translations through Pull Requests. If you're not sure how to do, the guideline I made might be helpful.
Actually this repository is a fork of the original Writer. One day I found the original one and was very impressed, but it didn't seem to be updated at that time and wasn't released to AppCenter. Then I felt I would like to fork it and continue the development.
So this repository would not exist without the work of the developers of the original one Tuur Dutoit, Anthony Huben, Ryan Riffle and its mockup designer spiceofdesign. I would like to say thank you very much for them!
