So if you're a writer running Omarchy, you now have Omaquill: a Scrivener clone in the Omarchy Marketplace.

It opens your existing Scrivener projects so your book comes with you. Compile to word, EPUB, or a paperback ready PDF.

Scrivener is the writing app many novelists, screenwriters, and authors swear by: a binder for chapters and scenes, index cards on a corkboard, and compile to a finished manuscript.

It runs on Mac and Windows. There's never been a Linux version.

It was great meeting everyone and hearing all the encouragement for Omahoy. Excellent work from the Omarchy team @ryanrhughes with @stevederico organizing it. Such a great community.

My favorite demo was @ShieldsWorks showing how he’s using Omarchy to build his own sailing navigation plugins instead of spending a fortune on Garmin gear. Such a cool real-world use case.

I remade my homepage with Opus 5.5 and pushed it hard. We made music & movies, drew textures, modeled things in Blender: https://t.co/WOGPQVm6Fq

I'm really happy with the result!

Today I learnt you can install Omarchy on a cloud session of Claude …

Their box installs it on a VM you can allocate the full box to

We can do anything. Fix anything.

[Casey @ShieldsWorks]

@ncfrontiersman @yamzeight My life is in your hands, Wes. Ship it!

[Casey @ShieldsWorks]

@stevederico Yes I'll try to make it. Thanks for the invite.

@LinuxGamer_UK Nights and weekends now. Full time someday.

[Casey @ShieldsWorks]

@LinuxGamer_UK 👊we might be the only two in the world. Not for long, though!

[Basti @bastidotnet]

Do cool stuff. Have fun doing it. Let the Omarchy community be a part of it. OMARCHY 🚀💻

[Casey @ShieldsWorks]

@r_trooper_2187 Of course, that was step 1 in my plan.

[Casey @ShieldsWorks]

@iwasrobbed Exactly. She was built in 1977, never had any onboard electronics. With Omarchy, I can avoid the $$$ to install the legacy systems that everyone is forced to use. Having fun making it my own.

[Ryan R. Hughes @ryanrhughes]

When we said "we can fix everything" I didn't see it going here so quickly but I love it!

Maybe planes next? 🤔

[Casey @ShieldsWorks]

Results from the first testrun with chartplotter, wind, tide, current, logbook, and of course Omastorm running side by side. GPS was intermittent so the tracks were broken. Gotta troubleshoot it.

[Casey @ShieldsWorks]

@martiano Everything is computer

[Casey @ShieldsWorks]

We can fix everything

Omarchy is controlling sailboats now?

Come to the Omarchy Spaces on Sunday 3pm EST to hear Casey tell us about it!

[Casey @ShieldsWorks]

@NixFred Yeah... ahoy matey 🤷‍♂️

[Casey @ShieldsWorks]

I'll be there with Omahoy, the onboard computer system for my sailboat.

[Nix 🔳 @NixFred]

🔥 OMARCHY PEOPLE! IT'S TIME AGAIN! 🔥

Join us THIS SUNDAY at 3PM EST for the Omarchy community's weekly Space!

@ncfrontiersman and I will be hosting, and we want YOU in the conversation.

Built a killer plugin? Made an app? Completely overhauled your desktop? Figured out something cool? BROKE something cool? 😂

COME TELL US ABOUT IT!!!

Show off what YOU have built. Share what you are working on. Ask questions. Grab some new ideas.

If you're brand new to Linux or Omarchy, COME HANG OUT! You don't need to be an expert. That's the whole point of having a community.

Bring your projects. Bring your questions. Bring your weird setup.

SEE YOU THERE!!! (pls RT to get the word out?)

@NixFred 👊
