Swag Text Editor
This is an awesome text editor. It’s deffinitely the best way to write where you don’t have to worry about formatting or huge menus of unnessessary options like you would in MSWord. You just write. I also love the way it’s based off Markdown and therefore allows you to add basic formatting you may need in a natural and efficient way. The Markdown aspect also helps me to think more organizationally with the way headers work.
I use Ulysses primarily for note-taking for my computer science classes. Ulyssses is great for this because I’m constantly writing down snippets of code to remember, and with the Ulysses Markdown workflow I can just make a huge code blog for any code snippets I use. And then when I export my notes, Ulysses nicely seperates my code from my text in a pleasing way. It would be hella dope if Ulysses did code syntax highlighting in code snippets, but that would be a bit cray, there’d have to be an auto-detect coding language thing or a global coding language set or individual language settings per code block, but all that would get cray complicated, so it’s probably better without all this cray stuff.
#### __**Feature Request**__ ####
The only thing I wish that Ulysses supported was image preview in the text editor. Whenever I add an image to a document, I always wish I was able to see a basic preview in the editor instead of the little “IMG” icon.
This is my use case: I often take class notes with Ulysses. I’ll have folders for iindividual classes and then a bunch of different notes from lectures. It’s so great for me to be able to use Ulysses’ search functions to find certain things in my notes. BUT OFTEN, I have images in my notes to help better explain certain concepts. When I go to read my notes, I wish I didn’t have to export something or export preview to read my notes, but could just read my notes straight-up in the text editor and see my images.
Anyway, Ulysses is super swag and you should use it.
