  • Lacks Markdown support

    An absolutely brilliantly thought-out writing tool. This makes the lack of Markdown support all the more baffling, especially for the growing number of authors writing for publication on a static site generator. For many, like me, this will be a deal-breaker. Pity!

    I'm sorry this is a deal breaker for you. We have looked into markdown but it is more complex than it first appears. Which version would you like? We can try to experiment with different versions of markdown but we cannot support all since they are more distinct than we might hope.

  • Not your grandmothers stenographers pad

    I feel I'm on the cusp of something really great. I've only used app for a few hours but I just have this feeling that the ease and freedom I feel using this tool may be far beyond what I could have dreamed. Thats how I feel today. LOL

    Oh well that's nice! Thank you.

  • Different take on notes, shows great promise.

    Author is vastly different than note taking and/or long form, minimal writing apps that we've seen in the past. Whereas Ulysses, Bear and others have touchpoints that appeal to the minimalist style, Author really ups the ante with a radical departure from convention. Two key differentiators are apparent: how it handles headings and how it creates "Defined Concepts".

    The headers work as headers normally do but with a twist: a 'Wiki' style quick collapse and drill down. Super handy for outlining and/or quick consolidation, down to the root level. And the implementation of it is so fundamental to the program, it must be pointed out, early.

    "Defined Concepts" are the real star of the show; they allow a superb amount of linking between themselves, much like tags but even more like tags in a mindmap; even to the point that it has mapping to visually show those links.

    The underlying mantra of this program is the thought leadership exhibited by its creator, Frode Hegland. From what I glean reading his works and website, they believe in 'Augmented Text' a metaphor perhaps of how can simply do MORE with words and text, something I utterly believe in. Hence why I use Ulysses, Bear, BBEdit, et al.

    All minimalist programs these days are really good; Author is the only one I've seen that takes a completely different approach to it.
