Typora VS 4thewords

Typora Reviews

   Simplicity and elegance

   It is very well built with simplicity in mind. There are several themes and all of them look amazing. I love the "typewriter" and "focus" mode. In contrast with other apps that focus the current window and remove all visibility options, Typora goes one step ahead and fades down all other paragraphs as well.

   🏁 Competitors: wereturtle.github.io ghostwriter, iA Writer, MonsterWriter

   👍 Pros:    Beautiful themes|Typewriter mode|Focus mode

• Show HN: Lexeme – open-source ChatGPT text editor

  If Lexeme is similar to Typora (https://typora.io), it could be fantastic and might even surpass Typora in terms of quality. On the other hand, if Typora already has these features, it's quite powerful. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: How did you migrate off Evernote?

  Evernote was ok for a little bit, but the only thing it really did for me was search... Once I realized that I switched tactics. I organized my life into domains, and got okay at using grep to replace it. My saving grace that I would pay twice for is https://typora.io. Though worth mentioning Apple Notes has come a long way. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Show HN: I've built open-source, collaborative, WYSIWYG Markdown editor

  Typora https://typora.io/ Open source — https://hackmd.io/ I’ve used all three, the first two are are WYSIWYG. All are collaborative. HackMD has a nice two window editor that renders MD as you type. Curious how Vrite compares with these. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Word Count Accountability/Writing App??

  There's 4thewords, where they gamify writing. I've not tried it but it looks interesting. Source: 12 months ago

• Executive Dysfunction

  Yes, I'm the same way. Two things have helped me. 1. Using the Pomodoro technique. You can find timers online and they tick while you are doing whatever, which I find helps me stay on track. I do 30 minutes with 5 minutes break. 2. 4thewords.com is a really cool gamification system for writers. You basically fight monsters while you're writing. It's amazing how well it keeps you on track! Also, there are some... Source: about 1 year ago

• Where you write?

  I use 4thewords.com with Scrivener for organisation and notes, but it really depends on what works for you. I like the gamification of 4thewords because it helps me focus, other people prefer options where they can completely turn off their wifi for fewer distractions. There are people who still write entirely by hand for their first drafts because it helps turn off their inner editor. Try a few options and see... Source: about 1 year ago

• Hello, I'm Celia Lake. I write cosy historical fantasy romances. Ask Me Anything today!

  My word count went up substantially when I stopped commuting every day in March of 2020. These days I'm in the office 2-3 days a week, but I've kept the words up, and average about 2K a day (though there are days I do a lot less and some I do more). I draft on 4theWords, so there is a bit of gamification there - can I get through this word battle to defeat this monster, etc. Source: about 1 year ago

• Campfire Writing?

  I use 4TheWords more often than some of the other ones lately, and it's sorta fun too. They've got a thirty day trial and plenty of events that give you additional time for free (especially NaNo). Also worth a check if some of the other software doesn't tickle your fancy. Source: about 1 year ago
