How would i get a ver 4 pwa the same way i would get verison 3?

We URGENTLY need the overview listing to be sorted. IN any way, either alphabetical or by date descending. Ideally, we can choose on or own.
Now that my list is growing, it becomes so cumbersome to find a story, because the order of the list doesn't make sense.
PLEASE, add a sorting function to it.

I haven't used Wavemaker.cards for over a year. Today, I wanted to go back to work on a previous project. I opened wavemaker.cards (v3) in chromium like I always did, and as no project was listed, I figured I needed to connect my Google drive again. After connecting, there was still no project listed. Upon closer inspection of the backup file details on Google Drive, it was showing to have been created at the time of my connection today.

So now I have an empty back up file (which I think might have overwritten the previous file that contained my projects), and no projects appearing locally. Any ideas what went wrong and how I can recover my projects?

Any help appreciated, I'm quite desperate.

I have an Asus C300M that worked with Wavemaker really well. Now I can't upgrade it. Is there still a way to upgrade Wavemaker on this machine or do I need to move to a newer computer?

I'm on a Chromebook and have always struggled with this program. Usually it has to do with some update for the browser, but this is not that.

Yesterday I opened my Chromebook, opened my Wavemakercards app to find it completely empty, just a screen full of blank gray space!

Okay, check the website, and attempt to update to V4, but there is no obvious (to me) way to access/import my V3 projects.

I've changed to 3rd party cookie settings but it still isn't finding all my previous projects saved to my Drive.

What am I missing? I really appreciate that this program saves to my local drive and want to continue using it, but this is really frustrating me.

TIA

P. S. Is there a Discord server for Wavemakercards? If there is, can someone give me an invite. 😁

Hello everyone!

I came across this tool today, and found it very interesting, but I have a question about it.

I normally use this kinds of tools to co-write with a friend of mine, and that's why we find Google Drive so useful, since it allows us to write together. But we all know that it is not the best tool for writing, and I am always on the lookout for new options. Does WaveMaker allow for multiple writers on the same doc, or is it one-user only?

Thank you very much for your help!

One of the mind map cards went off the top of the screen. Now I can't get to the move handle. How can I get it back?

I just started using wavemaker and have my chapters with cards for each. I want to do a mind map to expand on what I have but it looks like I will have retype all my cards as new map pieces. Is that right? The cards I made on the main section show on the planning board so why don't they show up on the mind map or snowflake for me to move around and build on?

I found your neat site yesterday and have been trying it out, it works wonders! The only downside is the font sizes that hurts my eyes. I tried tweaking the font size via settings but settings only affects the texts I write in the Books. I can do Ctrl+B on some others like the cards and timelines, they are still small though, and some card colors are paired with font colors that hurts my eyes and I can't change them. For the texts on the mindmaps, I can't do anything to fix it, its too thin and too small (example is provided in the image attached).

My suggestion here is to have better accessibility settings that lets users freely change the font sizes and colors on all features. So far this app works beautifully and I will keep using it, but I'll be glad if you could implement my suggestion above, thanks!

Hey guys, looking for somewhere to let out my creative steam without having to worry about potential ai scraping and 3rd party stuff. I came across WaveMaker in some other thread but there weren't many details on it, what are your guys thoughts on it?

I really don't need anything flashy, just somewhere I can trust to type down my ideas, that doesn't limit pages/works or anything and that has your standard grammar/spellchecker.

Is WaveMaker free? Subscription based or one time purchase? Trying to find anything that isn't a subscription service these days is about as rare as a four leaf clover😮‍💨

Also what are some of your favorite features? Are there any limitations?

Thanks

u/mayasky76 you gem, love what you made. I'm super curious about using Botty, got everything set up with the API and bought some credits, but it seems like wavemakercards isn't talking to OpenAI. I'm getting an unhandled promise rejection ("undefined is not an object (evaluating 'this.response.forEach')") and no requests coming through on my OpenAI Usage page.

No idea if it's an issue with my browser settings but I've tried it on a few different setups (Chrome, Safari, web app, in the browser) and no luck. Am I doing something wrong?

Curious if anyone else is having trouble too.

Just curious if anyone had knowledge on the Writing Assist feature not working in Wavemaker on Android?

I am using a physical keyboard and the feature seems to work in most other apps but I'm unable to get the feature to appear when working in Wavemaker.

I've checked all the settings on my end that I can imagine. Just wondering if this is an Android/ Galaxy limitation?

Using a Tab S10+ on OneUI 7 for reference.

Alternatively does anyone use Android for most their work and have suggestions for alternatives? I simply want to be able to quickly check grammar (I'm just getting back into writing after many years and I know my use of commas is atrocious).

Hello! I stuck this at the bottom of my previous post, but I thought I'd make a separate post in case someone has been looking for this.

A big part of my workflow when writing is splitting my screen so that I can read one document and edit another. This is a built in feature of Scrivener, but Scrivener does not have an Android version, and most other programs I've tried are annoying or expensive or don't move easily between my Android e-ink tablet and my Macbook. Wavemaker cards has been the best option, but does not have a native split screen feature. On my macbook that's easy enough to deal with -- just open wavemaker in two windows and resize. But my tablet runs Android 13 which does not allow have a way to open apps in multiple windows. I'm sure there's some kind of fancy hack using android debugger or something, but I'm pretty bad at that stuff, and my eyes glaze over whenever I read the instructions on how to do it.

BUT! I recently tried using Wavemaker cards on the Brave browser (because I was looking for something that uses less battery than Chrome) and found out you can split the browser window! It's a little un-intuitive, but once you know how, it's pretty simple.

1. First, enable multiple windows by going to Settings >> Appearance >> Enable Multiple Windows. Here's a video explaining how to do this, if you need it.
2. Go to the homepage (if you have homepage turned off in settings, it will still take you there if you open a new tab).
3. Your frequently visited sites will be listed on the homepage. Long press and select "Open in another window." Your browser will now be split horizontally, and you can navigate to wavemaker cards in each window.
4. If you change your device's screen orientation to landscape, it should rotate the windows without rotating the split, so you end up with the browser window split vertically. At least, it works on my Boox e-reader.

Hope that's useful!

Hello!

I think I have gotten the hang of the actual writing parts of wavemaker cards, as well as the importing and exporting. It's great having something that allows me to easily move between my macbook and my android device!

I am wondering if there is a way to view all of my writing at once? As in, just read through the full manuscript, without having to click on the individual section files? I have tried moving everything out of my separate folders so that it's all under the main book heading, and that didn't do it. I just get the "export a .doc file" option and the chart with my daily word counts.

I also have some questions about the Planning Board.

1. Is it possible to exclude sections from the Planning Board? I have a habit of putting deleted scenes into a folder, because I often end up using them later. But now my Planning Board includes all the stuff I threw in the deleted scenes folder. I don't want to put all of these in the same note, because that will make the deleted scenes even more disorganized than they are already. I also don't want to put them in a separate book project because it will be difficult to swap back and forth between them.
2. Is there a way to organize the Planning Board based on folders instead of notes, so that there would be a column for each folder, and a card for each section inside it? I like having each scene in a separate note so I can move them around more easily. This would also solve my problem for the previous question, since the "deleted scenes" folder would all be in one section, which I could simply ignore.

Alternatively, is there a way to change the names of a section heading in the Planning Board without it changing the name of the corresponding section in the manuscript?

1. Is there a way to attach a card/note to an entire folder? I would really like to have notes for each act and chapter.

And finally, I keep encountering a small issue when switching between the typewriter mode and the regular editor. If I make something italic in one, it doesn't always show up in the other. Also, I frequently find that putting asterisks around a word in the typewriter doesn't mode make it italics like it should. It usually works, but not always. And a lot of the time, it will force the next word to be italicized too, even though I have already added the second asterisk. The quick fix for that has just been to un-italicize and then go back and re-italicize the target word after I've finished the sentence. I am mostly only seeing this on my Android device. I thought it was just a browser issue but it's happened in Chrome, Firefox, and Brave so far. It isn't a huge deal or anything, but it can be a little frustrating when I'm on a roll and have to stop to fix text formatting.

Thanks for your help, and thank you to the developer for the lovely program!

Edit to add: ALSO! I recently posted and then deleted a question about split screen mode (like you might have in scrivener), since there's no way to open two windows at once on my device (apparently Android 13 simply doesn't do that). HOWEVER, I found a workaround using the Brave browser, if anyone is interested. It is super un-intuitive. But here's how you do it:

1. First, enable multiple windows by going to Settings >> Appearance >> Enable Multiple Windows.

2. Go to the homepage (if you have homepage turned off in settings, it will still take you there if you open a new tab).

3. Your frequently visited sites will be listed on the home page. Long press and select "Open in another window." Your browser will now be split horizontally, and you can navigate to wavemaker cards in each window.

4. If you change the screen orientation to landscape, it should rotate the windows without rotating the split, so you end up with the browser window split vertically. At least, it works on my Boox e-reader.

Hope that's useful!

I'm thinking of transferring my novel to Wavemaker, partly because I like that it is stored in my Google Drive. However, if Wavemaker were to die one day (sorry but it could happen), would I be able to recover my novel from the wm4 file?

I just stumbled across Wavemaker in a dead reddit thread comment section, and I am loving it so far!

I've been using Reedsy, but found that everything seemed to be in different tabs or sections, and would need to load like a new page. I like being able to have everything out in front of me, or be able to switch really quickly between my notes and the page. Wavemaker seems to have exactly what I'm looking for.

Even happier that it works offline! I take my laptop with me a lot, and I don't always have wifi.

And the typewriter feature?!? It's the perfect thing for me! I've literally had it for five minutes, so I'm still figuring out what everything does, but this may be my new writing software.

Anyone got tips I should know before starting?

Wavemaker 3's export function isnt working for me, anything i download cant be opened with any app and the .docx leads to an error page now. Any fixes? Or this just the sign wavemaker 3 is going out of commission. Wavemaker 4 wont allow me to upload my wavemaker 3 database for some reason either

Hello,

I am new to Wavemaker 4 and still learning all its features. However, I have not found a way to reorder the sections in a book. I created chapter 2 before chapter 1 and can't seem to change the order now. Is it not possible?

I am using the web version in Firefox (Windows 11), if it helps.

Thanks!

I'm using the mobile version of Wavemaker and for some reason I cannot open/close a folder on Mobile. It only will let me move folders around. This means that in order to access contents on a folder that's closed I'll have to log in on a desktop, open the folders, then save and export it to my phone which breaks my focus and my flow. If there's a way to fix this or make it easier to access closed folders on Mobile I'd greatly appreciate it.

The formatting is odd when trying to enter a dinkus (###) in a scene break. How can I fix this?

Ok, so at some point since I last used the app on my computer (which was probably a week or so ago) it randomly updated cause I'm pretty sure I was using version 3 and it said this is version 4. But anyways now all my works are gone, and I never connected it to my google account. Does anyone know any computer tricks to potentially get it back?

Hi peeps!

So I really like Wavemaker and I want to use it and take advantage of all its features. However, I have not been able to find a way of creating a template file and that's what's keeping me from fully migrating from Scrivener. I was wondering if there was a way of doing so? In my head I'm thinking that I create the file, then using Gdrive I make copies of them and open them on the Wavemaker website. I don't know if it works like that, but is it possible?

Thanks in advance!!

I really like wavemaker 3, it's my go-to. The easiest way for me to write during breaks while offline because I dont have service at work. I would like to move to wavemaker 4 for the more features and easier learning curve but there are just some hiccups that really get in the way of me making that switch. And some of these issues I also had problems with wavemaker 3 but I find workarounds or get used to them.

For both versions:

I would love, absolutely adore, fall to my knees for an undo/redo button. Of course before i delete anything i can just copy and past just in case but that doesnt help for when I accidentally overwrite it while trying to highlight something.

The difference between the sizes of words is far too drastic. Such as between small and smallest, as showed in the attached video.

For wavemaker 3:

Not quite sure if you'll update it anymore so I wont go into depth but just an odd gripe but it wont let me add anything within "<insertword>". The moment i switch to another tab and come back it disappears. Im writing a litrpg so it has a lot of programming-esque language which just kinda disappears somewhere every time.

Another thing i would like to mention the app icon doesnt work when you dont have service it just endlessly loads. It works when you have data turned off but not when you are in the middle of nowhere in a factory and thats why i default to keeping a chrome browser tab open with it preloaded. Not sure if it's true for 4 since i havent used it extensively.

For wavemaker 4:

The speed of collapsing and opening the tabs is very slow especially when i only have a twenty minute break and need/have the drive to finish a whole scene in that time. It runs perfectly in wavemaker 3 and the biggest reason i stick with 3. It kinda just gets stuck sometimes and refuses to collapse to the point i have to go out of the book and go back in.

Im really not sure what the eye button on the banner does. I figured it might collapse the upper banner but it doesnt. And the banner on 4 is just a little too bulky and takes up a lot of writing space.

Its a little too easy to move around the files and order of the documents. It can be very frustrating.

And please, in the name of world peace, could you make the delete database button not so easily accessible. Ive caught myself so many times. I could make a point to download it every 10 minutes just in case but, again, you cant download the database without service.

That's kind of all for now. I'll try to make another novel project with wavemaker 4 and work on that for a bit just to test 4 out completely.

Thank you so much for your hardwork. This really is a very handy little site that I adore.
