message: No longer entirely free, monthly fee to share work from version 2.01
::It never was "entirely" free -- but there has always been a solid, free version. Then there are a number of additional features, which cost money. Begeun (talk) 13:19, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: For many years, the free desktop software contained the pre-production and production features mentioned in the main article. A visit to Celtx's website today indicates that the desktop software has been discontinued, to be replaced by an online-only subscription system (unless you purchase an offline script-editing component), whereby the free option only enables the screenwriting functions.

thread_title: No longer entirely free

message: * Would someone consider expanding a little on the use of the term 'non-linear' in the phrase "...gives independent filmmakers and media creators an integrated and non-linear approach to the pre-production work phase..."? I know in video editing, non-linear means being able to jump around in one's edits without needing to scroll through the video, but what does that mean for a text-based program. Aren't all text editing programs 'non-linear'? A link or an explanation of the term would be appreciated. Warraqeen (talk) 11:27, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: To Do

message: (I am not very engaged with the Wikipedia community; my hope is that someone who is will fix this up to meet the norms.) This article really does read too closely to marketing material. Large chunks of it are more or less indistinguishable from text on the product's webpage. This isn't close to the level of quality I hope for in a Wikipedia article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.232.209.190 (talk) 01:00, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

message: This is the only edit that 41.232.209.190 has ever made and has gone a year and a half without further comment; I am about to remove the template from the article. — Robert Greer (talk) 18:00, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  removed template 

message: It would be great to chronicle the history of the software from its open-source roots––which the developers prided themselves on––to where the software and its parent company is at today in terms of providing a service and taking what were standard options e.g. index cards out of the free version and moving them to the paid cloud version.

replies: text: Thanks for making such a detailed edit request instead of trying to do it yourself. This was just tagged as a stub so the timing is good. Let me review and make sure the sources say what you write. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 15:52, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  I went through and verified your edits and sources, and made the changes. After you posted you edit request, another editor deleted a large chunk of unsourced feature info, and marked the article as a stub.  I restored the info with OK but not great sources - you'll want to keep an eye out for better ones in the future to keep the info from being deleted again. It's borderline promotional. If you need help in the future, you can always ping me with  instead of waiting for another editor to respond - the connected request backlog is quite high.  I'm not sure if that will ever change, but for now there seems to be a disinclination to help connected editors.  TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 18:11, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
