I am finding that offline programs work better: write a bit, save, get busy with something else, write some more, save, get distracted, finish a draft, save, edit, then copy-paste into Write.as. My #Windows app of choice is MarkPad. I like how it provides a live preview pane of everything you enter so you adjust accordingly. My #Apple app of choice is uFocus. It's minimal, easy-to-use, and looks beautiful. I am still searching for a #Linux-based app for my PopOS laptop. Meanwhile I'm using the built-in text editor, which lets you work in #Markdown (among many other languages). I've yet to try a cross-platform app, but give it time. Of course, I say all this while writing this post directly into Write.as_. 🤷]]> Currently I am using different writing applications on different computers.
