I know plenty of writers who are fond of Scrivener. My personal choice for a paid product (as I use a Mac) is Ulysses — going back and forth between the Mac & iOS versions is painless, and its bare-bones, grouped-file interface fits right with my workflow. Export options are plentiful, and it pairs well with Pandoc. Both are good.
- kayodelycaon 5y agoNote for those interested: * Ulysses is plain text markdown. * Scrivener uses RTF. (There is markdown support but iirc it's on top of rich text, not in place of it.) :)
- crooked-v 5y agoUlysses is "sorta Markdown". There are a bunch of fiddly proprietary differences from "real Markdown" that get in the way of things like being able to cleanly copy-paste material across, especially the second you touch images or other media (which are just magic placeholders in the Ulysses UI rather than properly handled Markdown text).
- browningstreet 5y agoI tried using Ulysses with Leanpub and it wasn't compatible - it adds blank markdown here and there and breaks the Leanpub rendering process. Couldn't get either Leanpub or Ulysses to fix it, and it was a known problem. That said, Ulysses is a nice editor, as long as that behavior doesn't cause issues.
