Sorry to say, I'm leaving, and here's why...

Hi I have been using Sudowrite for more than a year now but has now cancelled my subscription. I like the workflow from braindump to prose but there are some things that are problems for me.
1. The user interface. This is the main issue. I find that I’m getting constantly annoyed of all scrolling back and forth. Please at least keep the Story bible and the prose section separated. The character section and the world building section, lacks overview and soon becomes very cluttered, especially when you writes series. It’s probably better not to use the series function and just copy the part of the story bible you need. If time passes between your stories you still need a copy of each character for every book in the series to manage character arc development.
2. How the AI uses the Extra instructions is annoying and not consistent. Many times it just disregards it.
3. The price model. I would prefer a pay-as-you-go service using API keys.
4. The muse model writes good but it’s terrible at understanding context it often goes of in unwanted directions even on low creativity settings and with extra instruction to stick to the subject and not jump to new plot points. The Claude models actually excels at this.

Anyway that’s my thoughts.
