Well TLDR I'm an idiot :D
I write blog posts into TextEdit, just the white page to fill with text. Normally this is fine as I end writing and publish the blog post. This time after writing it I left it there for weeks: I wanted to refine it a bit, the post felt not "ready". Then I had to reboot the computer for an upgrade, and I magically quit the application hitting cancel when there was to save the document :-|
However rewriting it was fast, and the second version was better. So, it's fine. But starting from now I'll use the less pleasant (to me) Google Docs.
- danielfalbo 11mo agowhy not vim?
- antirez 11mo agoI code with vim, but to write prose, I want a white big window without anything else.
- righthand 11mo agoSublime Text has a fullscreen mode, and an autosave mode if you need something local. https://lucybain.com/resources/setting-up-sublime-autosave/ https://lucybain.com/resources/setting-up-sublime-autosave/
- bbkane 11mo agoGoogle Docs with "pageless" mode and the markdown shortcuts is pretty close to my ideal writing experience - especially if you're using the enterprise edition that unlocks code blocks (please bring that to the free version Google - could help lots of college students take notes)
