Just finished Automatic Noodle by Analee Newitz in a single reading session and it was great! Cute and cozy while still offering interesting speculation and a pretty well developed world for a 165 pager. Also nice little endorphin boost from starting and finishing a book in a single day. Got a pretty lengthy book coming in the mail in a few weeks, looking for reccs for some more quick reads before it arrives.

Looking for scifi, doesn't need to be hopepunky like automatic noodle but I certainly wouldn't mind it. Just needs to be short. Thanks in advance!

Hey all! Ive been using scrivener on my mac desktop for about a year to organize my various ongoing writing projects. Used to only write on google drive, but my folders and sub-folders started to balloon past what was realistic to deal with on drive, so I moved everything to Scrivener. It's great, love it, it's exactly what I wanted for organization, no notes there.

Problem is that there is no android mobile app! So if I want to continue writing on my phone throughout the day (which is a big part of my workflow), I've got to copy/paste onto google drive. This has been working okay because I've been really diligent about manually syncing my work. BUT - I've had enough with google's AI integration and I want all my writing off of the platform. So I need a new way to have dual device access.

First I tried using Proton drive. You can get Scrivener to sync to a proton folder and then read them on your phone, but you cannot edit them without the assistance of a third party translator app called collabora, and even with that app giving edit access, there is still no way to back-sync to the desktop without making a copy of the file, uploading, and replacing.

SO, thinking about either A, getting an Iphone after using android for like a decade (time for a new phone anyway, got my eye on a cheap one), or B, switching to a more expensive writing software like Atticus which I believe has built in cloud functionality.

Can anyone shine some light on how seamless two way syncing with scrivener desktop and Ios is, and if it is worth getting a whole ass new phone for? Any advice/guidance very much appreciated! Thank you.
