I’m interested in knowing what you guys are using to access this community, whether or not it’s via mobile phone or via laptop or desktop.
If accessing via a laptop or a desktop, what is your OS? Windows, MacOS, or Linux? And if Linux, what distro are you using?
If accessing via a mobile device, you can add in some details about the app you are using or if you’re using it via a mobile browser.
Of course, you guys can add more details.
Just to provide a bit of a background behind the question: I’ve had this preconception that the ones here are among the more technologically-inclined (whatever that means), and thus, I’m curious about the make-up of devices and software used to access and interact with this community.
UPDATE:
As promised, here’s a link to the compiled data (with some rudimentary stats). I will be adding more onto them this weekend (if more replies come in).
First of all, thank you to all who’ve responded. While my preconceptions haven’t been shattered, I’m also pleasantly surprised to find out non-techies, refugees from Reddit, who have jumped in to the Threadiverse despite it all. I dunno if that’s indicative of the dumpster fire that is Reddit right now, or the tenacity of those who’ve sought refuge here. Maybe both.
I will be expanding on my thoughts, and others, on a separate reply.

document editors on vim and emacs = 🗿
But dude, this ain’t no coding. It’s a screenwriting software.
Huh, here I am with the other odd solution: Latex, lol!
Seriously though, I am guessing may special formatting considerations for that kind of thing, but I won’t be surprised if someone out there have already made a plugin or an extension for that kind of a usecase.
However, for professional work, I’d rather stick with the ones that are used by other professionals in the field (at least until feature parity).
haha you need to learn further
Do emac and other text editors can format screenplays? Know what my use cases first.
as far as I know neovim and emacs have extensions that extends their functionality by adding more features like templates, but even if there was none a some vim and emacs user will probably do it manually haha that’s why I called them based
Ahh, figures. With Fade In, I can just generate a screenplay template in seconds, write a plot, add characters and settings, and start “wondering.” It’s my most therapeutic and out-of-the-world session I have that I can “waste” my time before finishing a spec.
Woah are you writing a novel? Book guy pa naman ako
Writing a novel is hard. My influences are films, man. I’ve been reading screenplays on r/screenwriting and took an inspiration to write one, and currently a ghostwriter. Novels and screenplays are two different juggernauts.
