Hey there worldbuilders, What apps do you use to generate maps and the like? What are your goto applications?

As a writing-based worldbuilder, a good notes software is a must for me and I imagine most others as well. I always recommend CherryTree for organizing worldbuilding research, notes, lore, stories, etc. It's free and open source, supports inline pictures and other elements, everything within a given world or project can be stored as one file on your own computer, and allows unlimited nested pages for when your tangential tiny piece of lore turns into a two week research project.

Rules:

  1. Follow Lemmy's Code of Conduct.
  2. Remain on-topic. Worldbuilding contains many areas of interest, so, when in doubt, explain how your contribution fits within worldbuilding.
  3. Give context in the comments of your post. This will help your audience engage with your creation and encourage interaction.
  4. Tag posts as NSFW if they contain images or discussion of extreme violence or explicit sexuality.
  5. Advertising should not disrupt the community. Self-promotion of projects related to worldbuilding are fine. However, you must be willing to engage with your audience.
  6. Love each other. There's a human on the other side of your screen, so treat them with respect.
