• I Use Obsidian

  Similar to mine. I use Apple Notes for quick, ephemeral notes and for notes I share with the family. If they are the ones that are more important, they go into the plain-text notes in the Obsidian folder. The Notes folder(s) is sync with a Cloud Service. So, I use iA Writer[1] (a brilliant Notes App) to have a pleasant writing experience on other mobile devices. They are just Markdown, so I can open them in any... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Vibe Coding a VSCode Extension

  Recently, I stumbled upon a tweet by Will McGugan that caught my attention. The tweet showcased iA Writer's focus function—a clever feature that highlights the current "block" (or paragraph) while dimming everything else around it. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Must-have apps and services in 2024

  Interestingly, some apps I've been using since 2014, like iA Writer (which I'm using to write this post) and Buffer. I'll talk about both of them in a moment, but first, I want to talk about another tool that's crucial to my setup: SetApp (horrible pun, but I couldn't resist). - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Breaking Free from Analysis Paralysis

  While writing this post, I decided to test a few writing apps. I mainly used iA Writer, but I also downloaded Paper, Ulysses, and Scrivener. Distraction-free writing is amazing. I can configure my Vim and Obsidian to look and feel similar. Wait… What am I doing? - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Just Simply – Stop saying how simple things are in our docs
