Story Architect 0.4.0
Hola, amigos!
Happy first update of 2023! Story Architect version 0.4.0 with motivational innovations comes out today!
Statistics on working with the application
So, the main addition in this version is the ability to monitor your own productivity.
Now STARC will remember how many words you've added today while working on each project and then show you with charts and diagrams how productive the previous week, month and even year has been!
To open the statistics page you need to click the statistics button in the main application menu.
In addition to the history of work in the program you can see your averages, which allows you to understand your rhythm and plan your working hours better.
And users of PRO & TEAM versions Story Architect can see the stats from all devices you work with at once!
