Do you plan to address the concerns that I (and several other people who use your site) have regarding potential censorship by Google, Apple, etc? Not to mention possible AI scraping (which is against your own founding principles) by these companies.

Hey there! We address the (valid!) concerns about censorship in the Help Center: help.ellipsus.com/support/solu...

The TL;DR: because the Ellipsus app is not a publishing platform, your work is not public within the app environment, and therefore not subject to review by Google or Apple. Here's an extract from that same help center article.

Is there a way to jump to the end of the document on android? I imported a 200,000+ document to see how it looked when I imported a docx file but there's no scroll wheel to grab and drag. Regular scrolling means I'd have to do nothing but scroll for literal minutes to get to the bottom.

This is awesome! It would be nice to see an alternative download method for those of us who try to avoid Google. Even if you don't want to open-source the app, you could make your own F-droid repository: https://f-droid.org/tutorials/create-repo/

❗️Important❗️Before going offline, open each document and draft you plan to work on offline. Ellipsus works from the copy most recently loaded onto your device, so documents you haven’t opened yet may not be available once you lose your connection.

The mobile apps are our first step to becoming a fully dual online/offline writing tool. Once the Apple store approves our iOS app, we’ll be announcing it (very, very loudly 🥵)!

You can read more about the apps and their offline capabilities on our Website 👉 ellipsus.com/download and Help Center 👉 help.ellipsus.com/support/solu...

@miss-pebbles.bsky.social did you see that \o/

I want to be exited about the app but the lack of compatibility between my phone and the app is putting a hamper on that... Any plans for more compatibility with older smartphones?

Unfortunately Google and Apple are starting to enforce minimum app requirements. Right now the minimum is Android 16—if you're above that and still experiencing issues send a report w/logs to support and we can take a look.

16? i just installed and ran it on 15 (well, lineage 22.2 but based on 15)
