Raven


“Why is a raven like a writing desk?”
Like Poe, you might write on both.

Raven is a minimal, distraction-free text editor with good typography.

NOTE

This project is still in REALLY EARLY STAGES of development. While it’s
usable, most of the features are not implemented, and it might just break and
eat all your novel DON’T YA DARE TRUST IT YA HEAR.

Getting Started

1. Download the right distribution for your platform:

   • Linux: 32 bit / 64 bit
   • Windows
   • Mac OS X

2. Unzip it wherever you want the application to be;

3. Double click the Raven / Raven.exe / Raven.app file;

4. Select the folder where you want to store your novels;

5. Create a new novel, and start writing.

Building

You’ll need Node Webkit, Node, Make and other *NIX tools (like cat)
installed. Once you do, just run the following commands:

$ git clone git://github.com/robotlolita/raven
$ cd raven
$ npm install

To run it under recent Linux distributions (Ubuntu 13.04+, Fedora 18+, Arch,
Gentoo, etc) you’ll need the following to run Raven:

On all other platforms, you’ll need the following to run Raven:
