“What a great list to be part of. I love Scapple as a simple as possible thinking space,: said TaskPaper inventor Jesse Grosjean. “I wrote my first app integration for TextExpander on iOS years ago. Tinderbox is an original that I look to for new ideas in my own software.”

“The applications on offer for WinterFest comprise some of my favourite writing software,” said Keith Blount from Literature and Latte. “There’s something here for every step of the writing process, from gathering research and working out connections between ideas, to putting it all together into a manuscript and polishing the text for wherever it needs to go.”

“Our customers love to create something new. And for this, they collect, organize, write, and add the final touch,” explained Eric Bohnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies. “With the apps that we have put together for you in this WinterFest, handcrafted by creators for creators, you can do this without the computer getting in the way of your creativity.”
