The race to reinvent document editing

  1. Software for full screen distraction free creative writing. No whistles and bells, just empty screen, you and your words. WriteMonkey is light, fast, and perfectly handy for those who enjoy the simplicity of a typewriter but live in modern times.

  2. A powerful writing tool for Mac, iPad, and iPhone
    I owned Scrivener on my old 2011 iMac. I loved it, and it did everything it said, but I got bogged down in the OCD of organizing, so I tried minimalist editors like Ulysses[1] and WriteMonkey[2]. Even timeline, video-editing-esque editor like Causality[3]. I had used Celtx[4] many moons ago with a subscription to collaborate with others. All have their strengths and they are all good depending on what it is you're writing. I have settled on just using OneNote for work, writing, scratchpad, and list making, or collecting information. I think it was ahead of its time since 2003 and now. It is quick, intuitive, and you can minimize it to the workspace, and you can search throughout it. I would like a DB interface of some sort... Sometimes plain markdown and a simple text editor stored in a database is probably good enough for most projects not involving mixed media. OneNote does it all. [1] https://ulysses.app/.
