  • Really cool project, even though it has its flaws. Be prepared to search the documentation and update the configuration via the command line, as there’s no settings page in the web interface.

    I had some trouble with it throwing a fatal error on URLs longer than the max filename length on my filesystem, but the author has been very responsive on GitHub. I replied to a 3-4 year old closed issue and the author opened it again and tried implementing a new fix in the dev version. I’m encountering another issue with using the dev version in my setup right now, but I think that’s being worked on.








  • I’ve previously used versions 1.4.* and 1.5.* quite a bit for print, because I’m a one-man marketing department in a tiny company.

    Scribus was (is?) somewhat finicky and cumbersome to work with. It had certain quirks and workarounds you had to learn to deal with. It lacked many creative features you find in bigger suites. I didn’t feel like I worked quickly and efficiently in it. BUT I got my work done in it nevertheless, and I really appreciate that it exists for the people that simply can’t afford the alternatives.

    Nowadays I use the Affinity suite, which includes Affinity Publisher, a competitor to InDesign. It’s quite affordable and not subscription-based.
