Hi! I'm Adriano, a Kuwait-born Argentinean, a proud Canadian, and a homeschooling dad. During my PhD in physics, I struggled immensely with writing my thesis. Instead of buckling down and writing it anyway, I took some "productive procrastination" time to design a better way to tackle writing projects ;) Gingko Writer is the latest version of that initial design. It's already helped hundreds of people draft their theses, publish their books, and finish their novels. If you're curious, give it a try! It might be just what you need to get over your current writing block... PS: I don't do any paid ads, so if you like what you see, please help spread the word! Your writer friends will thank you :D

There is nothing like a concept whose time has come, this is the concept, this is the product.

Thanks @richard_schave ! I don't know about it being "*the*" concept that's most needed right now... but my hope is that by helping more people write down and simplify *their* complex concepts, stories, and solutions, it can make a difference. There are many world-changing ideas that are still trapped in people's minds right now. I hope Gingko Writer can help in some small way to set them free!

This software has quite literally saved me countless times. It’s super helpful to sort and organize your work/writings. Thank you for this, and if you haven’t tried it - it’s about time, my friend!

I've been using it for years since it was just a web app and I really like using it for structured writing projects. I used it in my MA and PhD. I also use it for marketing email and website content. I highly recommend using it for anyone. It's easy to use and super logical.

If you're involved in writing of any kind, in my opinion, getting Gingko is be the best move you can make. I'm a part-time young adults detective novels writer and I cannot begin to tell you how this tool has made my life easier over the past few years. I would say that it has easily cut my story development time in half. I've tried many (many) outliners and mind mapping tools before finding Gingko, but nothing compares. This is the rare kind of software that doesn't try to be everything to everybody: it does one thing and it does it extremely well. I also use it often at work to outline anything from reports to site maps and even Powerpoint presentations. I would give it 11/10 if I could.

Gingko is a SUPER USEFUL tool for outputting, structuring, organising and iterating ideas / copy / content. It is very intuitive, fluid and helpful. Even though most articles / essays / reports are linear, our relationship with the underlying material is not linear. Gingko allows you to rapidly output what you do know in a non-linear way brain friendly way. It is an invaluable writing and planning tool... I've been a paying subscriber for 7+ years.

Gingko Writer is a kind of combination outliner and corkboard (not visually but functionally). It’s a little hard to convey how it works because I’m not sure there’s anything else quite like it. Maybe “horizontal outliner” is a better description. You can expand an idea from left to right by adding blocks of text at deeper levels, and those blocks can be easily rearranged by dragging and dropping. It’s the only writing tool I’ve found that works the same way my mind does.

Thanks @tad_davis2 ! That's a great description of how Gingko works, actually. I myself struggle to find the words to describe it (ha!), because I'm too familiar with it :)
