Blog: Sympolymathesy, or: v5.chriskrycho.But I still don’t love it as a first-choice writing tool. Trust me, I have: I have Zen mode installed, a custom Byword-like theme I use when I just want to write, and even a citation autocompletion package integrated with it. ![]() ![]() You might just be hearing more about this in the future. A tool that’s really well-optimized for the latter isn’t necessarily well-optimized for the former. Writing and writing code are not the same, after all. And as much as you can bend general-purpose text editors like Atom to your will, 1 it’s not the same as a dedicated writing app that focuses-in the ways that Ulysses and Byword both do-on just being a great tool for writing. I am, for example, hardly the only person working with citations and academic text, or writing Markup with lots of code samples in it. That said, I don’t think I’m the only person out there who has these particular needs. It’s more the recognition that I have some pretty unusual requirements of my writing apps. That’s not really a critique of the apps. But for the kinds of writing I do-usually technical in one way or another-it is limited in its utility. Byword is a staple among writers who just want a gorgeous Markdown text editing experience. My wife, for example, does nearly all her fiction writing in Ulysses it works wonderfully for her. It does this extremely well, but it also has none of the library management that is useful for larger projects.īoth of these apps are really wonderful in many ways, and I think it’s fair to say that they’re perfect for many writers.
