I see. It looks like the newest version is still available, but not supported. Maybe someone else has compiled it from the source.

I downloaded and installed the flatpak version of it. Nearly 500 MBs of KDE Platform. (Looks like I should have gone the repository route, but it might have done the same.) I'll test it out. I was wondering if I could get it to support Fountain syntax (kind of the same thing as markdown).

I see. I was offered .dmg downloads from other sites, so I'm guessing others have done the compiling for you.

Thanks for all the all the information. Obviously my "discovery" of FocusWriter was not that unique. Looks like it's been a well-known option for a while.
