When you launch Starc, you are greeted with a pleasingly simple interface, that is straight to business. There is only one hamburger menu, in one frame. It does not load up in pure white, (praise the pope!) recognizing that most writers ply their craft in the wee hours of the day. That said, there are different themes available if you’d like, and you can even create your own. The menu is simple with three options, create story, open story and the user guide. This is in line with the direction the developers have chosen: “Starc is being developed with strong author’s involvement and support so we won’t waste the app performance on features you don’t need”. | When you launch Starc, you are greeted with a pleasingly simple interface, that is straight to business.

Another great feature for writers is the ability to split the screen into two, with F2. This way you can keep track of something that came before, to keep the continuity, allowing you to edit in both splits, should you need to balance your story. It saves you from searching back and forth and even helps if you split your chapters. | Another great feature for writers is the ability to split the screen into two, with F2.

- | For most casual writers, the basic package will be enough, however, the cloud features for professional writers are becoming more feature rich by the month. While I am not going to discuss the Starc mobile application here, as it has nothing to do with Ubuntu, I will say that interoperability is a thing and you can seamlessly edit on other platforms via the cloud. Their cloud options even allow for co-writing with another author, on another platform, which I think is awesome! | + | For most casual writers, the basic package will be enough, however, the cloud features for professional writers are becoming more feature rich by the month.

- | Now let’s talk about the elephant in the room, the so-called Starc AI. While I do agree that AI can be a tremendous help in writing as well as help you brainstorm great ideas, I don’t trust the techbro’s not to steal your story or your idea. (we’ve all seen how well it went for the digital artists.) Thus, having it inside your application is utterly crazy to me. If I were to need a prompt, I’d open up ChatGPT in my browser and simply clear my cookies every time I want to use it, (or else you need to sign in) only getting the bare minimum from that information hoover. Luckily for us, this is not integrated into the free version, which is a plus. Since I do not have an income at the moment, I could not try out the paid version, so if any of our readers wants to try and report back, it would be great. | + | L' |

For me, it is the little things that set this application apart from other writers on Linux, for instance, it would automatically correct my double capitals, from something like “LInux” to Linux, for when I hold down the shift key for a fraction too long, sort of like LibreOffice Writer does, and I appreciate that as it saves me from correcting obvious mistakes. Once this application achieves predictive text, it should blow any other writing application on Linux out of the water. | For me, it is the little things that set this application apart from other writers on Linux, for instance, it would automatically correct my double capitals, from something like “LInux” to Linux, for when I hold down the shift key for a fraction too long, sort of like LibreOffice Writer does, and I appreciate that as it saves me from correcting obvious mistakes.

For me, digital is the way to go and I’m always looking for an application that is a good fit. After losing all my stories since 1984 in a move, recently – (if anyone reading this ever receives a box that is not theirs, filled with red notebooks, let me know!) I can back up my stuff to SD card, to the cloud, to hard drive and DVD ROM, if it is in digital format. Thus I’ll be keeping an eye on Starc as it develops and following them on Telegram as it is a promising application. | For me, digital is the way to go and I’m always looking for an application that is a good fit.
