Thanks. & here are some ideas. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43012478 & some more ideas. You can also work out an outline or timeline or table of characters & settings & objects in the editors to the right. You can also get your editors to write their overarching feedback & questions in the editors to the right. I also designed this for screenwriting so you can get more ideas by reading up on how screenwriters do their work. It's clunky to format to standards acceptable to the industry, but the industry standards seem pointless & counterproductive, so it's maybe good to be forced to focus on content over form.

About the second point. In Word, you can easily get feedback for specific paragraphs by just writing around or underneath those paragraphs, or for the whole by just writing in another document & keeping that document open in another window or in the same window. But you can't easily get feedback for specific chapters, & you can't do any of these things while easily keeping chapter-specific notes always in view. This among other reasons is why this app is maybe more powerful than Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Obsidian, etc. It balances notetaking & reflection & writing. Microsoft Word & Google Docs focus too much on writing, & have very little capability in the other 2. Obsidian focuses too much on notetaking, & has very little capability in the other 2. None of them integrate all 3.

About reflection. With Word, the moment you make changes to the document, all the stuff written to the side goes out of sync. So it's best just to write in sequence. So Word has no advantage there.

(I deleted what I wrote in that link. Here it is.) The leftmost editor is used to write the section (or chapter), & the rest are used to take notes for that section, or to keep old versions of that section as reference, or to work out different ways of writing a subsection, etc. (& this seems hubristic, but I think this app might actually be a watershed moment in UI & UX & software development history. There's nothing out there that lets you juggle contexts nearly as seamlessly. Microsoft Word & Obsidian have alot of lines of code & hours behind them, but in terms of how much they empower me to write & think, they're far inferior to this app. & if you look at the html, you'll see it's only 750 lines of code, of which only 670 lines are actually used. So it's also extremely maintainable & forkable.)
