You could make the core of Scrite for yourself: templates and documents. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $19 a year it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it. - You could make: Templates and documents: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
