Hey awesome OnlyOffice team!
First off, thanks for the amazing work you’re doing! but now I have got a whole new idea cooking…
What if OnlyOffice had a full-fledged Creative Writing Mode?
Something like Manuskript or Scrivener, but with your clean UI, smoother experience, and a few powerful twists they don’t offer.
Here’s what it could include:
- Distraction-free long-form writing: perfect for novels, screenplays, fanfiction, or even academic monsters.
- Chapter and scene organization, with drag-and-drop reordering and flexible outlines.
- Character, plot, and world-building cards: let users link notes directly to parts of the manuscript.
- Built-in AI Assistant: for summaries, style rewrites, plot brainstorms, or even random name generators when my brain is fried.
- Advanced grammar and style checker, with literary-focused modes and optional domain-specific dictionaries.
- Full RTL support across the entire experience (text, layout, tables, and export).
- Integrated Image Support.
Yes, for real. Let us drop images into scenes, notes, or even organize visual material next to the text. Perfect for graphic novelists, manga creators, or just authors who think in pictures. Bonus points for:- A visual board (corkboard with images + scene/character cards)
- Right-to-left image layout for manga and Arabic comic creators
- Optional AI image generation (yes, let us sketch with words!)
And just to take it to legendary status…
- Versioning & Snapshots
So writers can experiment with alternate plotlines without fear… save slots for our chaotic genius. - Collaboration Mode
Real-time co-authoring, tracked changes, and threaded comments… perfect for editors or teams. - Writing Goals & Analytics
Daily word goals, progress tracking, and guilt-inducing charts that silently judge (or celebrate) us. - Scene Timelines / Plot Arcs
A visual way to track scenes, POVs, and character arcs across the story. Our plot bunnies will finally behave. - Dark Mode + Cozy Fonts
Because great stories are born in the shadows… not blinding white screens and lifeless Arial. - Screenplay Export
One click to convert a manuscript into screenplay format; because some of us have Netflix dreams.
Export options like EPUB, PDF, Markdown, and maybe even “Print ready” templates would make it an all-in-one powerhouse.
Writers don’t just need a word processor. We need a creative space.
OnlyOffice could be that space… the first to truly support both written and visual storytelling, across RTL and LTR worlds.
I know, I know, Devs are either gonna high-five each other or panic in sync, either way… Thanks again for everything you’ve done so far. I’m really excited to see where OnlyOffice goes next!
