I’ve been sticking with the Dusk theme for now. Like most other Markdown apps, the interface is really clean, which I appreciate. As I mentioned, Drafts seemed a little too powerful, when what I really need is MMD and a preview of it.
#IWRITER FOR GRADUATE SCHOOL PRO#
I purchased iWriter Pro yesterday and have already played around with it a bit. But hopefully someone else getting started down the same path will find a lower barrier of entry like I did. So maybe I will pick it up in the future.Īnd maybe this blog will end with me abandoning iWriter Pro and picking something else up. Also, iA Writer’s other features, such as focused mode and syntax highlighting, while cool, didn’t seem like something I would really need right now. Maybe someone can let me know, but at almost an 1/8 of the cost, iWriter Pro felt like a lower barrier of entry. At $40 (CAD) it wasn’t something I was going to nab and test out, and from all of my research I wasn’t entirely confident it supported MMD. IA Writer on the other hand was a little difficult to tell. It feels a bit like Word’s menu bar where there are 500 different things you can do, but all you want to do is preview the document. This is an example of just one of the tabs.

While I was able to download a version of Drafts and test it out (it does support MMD), I wasn’t in love with the design and look of it, and while it seems powerful, it gave almost too many options. There are other apps, such as Drafts and iA Writer ,that most people point to when talking about Markdown.
#IWRITER FOR GRADUATE SCHOOL UPDATE#
I’m going to try to update this every month or so, but I can’t be confident it’ll be consistent as I may step away from the app at times. Hopefully my use isn’t so niche that this is useless to anyone. So I decided to purchase it and then give a running review of it. I have come across a few other apps, and one of them didn’t seem to have any reviews as far as I could tell (beyond what was in the App Store). I had dug around the internet and found Federico Viticci’s article but being over 6 years old, the best app he mentions (Byword) doesn’t seem to be updated anymore (as of September 2021).
They would still have to learn some aspects of MMD and Markdown, but it seems this would be easier.īut alas, I work on an iPad Pro and I couldn’t find a great MMD app. Easy enough to read and learn, which means getting my co-workers onboard wouldn’t require teaching them Markdown and HTML, or just HTML. For the moment I made use of HTML in those instances (as Markdown supports inline HTML) but then I found out about Fletcher Penney’s MultiMarkdown (from here on out MMD) project, which seemed to hit the perfect spot for me. Markdown sounds especially helpful as it won’t require learning HTML or other forms of coding.Īs I was working though I noticed we make use of tables, footnotes, and other various type that aren’t fully supported by Markdown. Even introducing something new like Zoom a few years ago (way before the pandemic) was a hassle. Also, given that I work at a graduate liberal arts school, the people I work with aren’t always the most tech-savvy or even interested in it.
I won’t go into too many details, but a broad overview is that we needed to find a way to edit handbooks/catalogues (I work in higher education) that was more efficient than how we did it before. For work I’ve been getting into the use of Markdown combined with Github and WorkingCopy for a project.
