I don’t have the expertise to go too far into Curio, but it is a great tool for putting together dissertations and other research from a visual perspective as all its work is done on large open whiteboard-like spaces on the Mac.Īs to your question of using Hook with Scrivener, you could use Scrivener entirely for your project, place research links in your research area, etc. Curio, like Scrivener, does a great deal more than I am using it for. I found that another app I have takes better care of my mind mapping and list making process, Curio. I got Scapple early on and have tried to like Scapple but, I just can’t. Just to mention it, Scrivener’s developers also make a very rudimentary mind mapping app, Scapple. I can’t say it is anything more than sticking with what I am comfortable with. Nisus serves me quite well with everything that Word could do. I no longer feel it is necessary to put up with maintaining a license for Word. I come from a technical writing background and I used to use Word very well. I realize that Scrivener can also format its output and, that is probably great. I click in the menu bar and do searches quickly throughout my document when I want to find something. I stay in scrivenings view, in the shallow end of the pool. I can easily select contiguous or non contiguous sections, so that I can see if I am making the ideas clear that I thought I was making clear, or if I am repeating myself (bad), or clarifying a previous point (good).Īt this point I am not using Scrivener for much of what it can do including labels, cork board, or outline view. In this way I find it very helpful to control-click the different sections and review how the different sections are flowing together in my writing. I am only using it as a writing tool as a way to separate each section as I assemble my writing. I am aware that Scrivener offers the writer a nearly complete solution.
