![]() ![]() It's hard to encapsulate just how many options Scrivener gives you. And each part of the app can be customized to create the exact writing environment that you need. Keep your work segmented for easier organization and edition, while maintaining its structure with the Binder. Import images, PDF and other media you've used as research to refer to it later. Organize your ideas on digital notecards and lay them out on the corkboard to see how your work fits together. Novels, scripts, essays, research papers, it doesn't matter, because Scrivener supports all of them. I just wanted to share with you about a tool I’ve come to use increasingly often as time’s gone on.Scrivener is nothing short of a full-featured suite of tools for writers. I’ve never found Emacs a great fit for the way I work anyway (and the key chords hurt after a while), so I didn’t spend a lot of time here. Yep, I did try it! No simple way for a live preview. I suspect that without Ulysses I’d be using this plugin to write posts, along with NerdTree and other plugins to keep things organised. ![]() It doesn’t just preview Markdown, but understands formats like PlantUML as well. When you start the preview the settings are to open a page in your default browser, which is kept in sync as you type. Vim using the preview plugin is surprisingly good. MarkdownPadīriefly - it’s Windows only and has a very outdated UI, which makes sense since the last update was in 2014. If you want Markdown you have to export the file. One feature that is lacking is direct publishing as Markdown - publishing expects to export to HTML or Jekyll format. I have a private instance that I use sometimes. It lacks some of the features like tags, but the features it has work well. It has a nice smooth UI, good integration with other sites, and it’s free software. Ulysses isn’t priced per platform, and is even included in the Setapp subscription. In addition, each supported platform is purchased separately so it would cost me $60 to use both Mac and iOS. One downsides for me was that iA Writer doesn’t seem to have any concept of libraries, groups etc. They both have focus mode and the style checking does seem a nice feature. Those groups have more sheets inside - for example, a ‘user walkthrough’ sheet for the website in question. Things that aren’t developed much go in an ‘ideas’ sheet, while others get their own group. The features mean Ulysses is surprisingly flexible - while I use it for blogging, I also use it for tracking projects I’m working on. I’m going to resist the temptation to take a screenshot of each individual point and just link to the Ulysses app page instead, where they show off each feature at its best. There’s also a variety of features I don’t use (yet), simply because I haven’t needed to. it can export to multiple formats - Word document, PDF, HTML, Markdown, or even straight to ePub.Tie that with the iCloud sync and you can pick up and go. ![]()
