Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built BookCatalyst because I was tired of seeing Windows writers stuck with outdated tools or forced into expensive subscriptions. The backstory: As a writer who switched from Mac to Windows, I missed Ulysses terribly. But I wasn't willing to pay 240/year for writing software. So, I built the tool I wished existed. What makes BookCatalyst different: 📊 Professional readability analysis - Six industry-standard formulas (Flesch-Kincaid, Gunning Fog, etc.) built right in. Most competitors charge $20-30/month just for this feature. 📝 Automatic version history - Never lose a previous draft. Every save is preserved. (Even Ulysses doesn't have this!) 💰 One-time purchase - £19.99 instead of 240-360/year in subscriptions. Own it forever. 🎨 Distraction-free writing - Clean Markdown editor with 11 beautiful themes, hierarchical projects, and all the organisation features you'd expect. I've poured everything into making this professional-grade software that respects both your writing process and your wallet. I'd love to hear what features matter most to you in writing software. What frustrates you about current tools? Thanks for checking it out! 🚀
