Greatest Writing Experience I’ve Had

I must say, Ulysses’s dark fullscreen mode looks fantastic on a Space Grey 12” MacBook. The colors compliment the body of the laptop perfectly and when combined with the wonderful new keyboard (I know, not everyone agrees) Ulysses makes my MacBook the best writing instrument I’ve ever used.

Using Ulysses’s markdown features may seem a little odd at first coming from a rich text editor, but I like that my work is essentially all plaintext. It makes it feel more portable, and there are plenty of export options to get it into different formats and layouts. WYSIWYG may be great for creating a phamphlet or even writing a school report, but the seperation of the written words from the final format feels great for more serious, lengthy writing.

I also purchased the iPad app so I can do some writing when I’ve only brought my tablet with me, which I do from time to time. The iOS version is just as fully featured as the Mac version which is very impressive.
