Excellent!

Robin CM Duncan @robincmduncan.bsky.social · 8h

It’s an honour and an exciting challenge to take on this role; and was a great privilege to learn the ropes under the mentorship of Pete Sutton, who we wish the very best.

Thank you so much for the boost! 🤩

Robin CM Duncan @robincmduncan.bsky.social · Sep 3

Yeah, I feel that. You can still get one-off licences (at least I did a year or so ago) but they don’t make it easy to find. I did try Scrivener and might again.
