SO GOOD. But just one thing
I hate how it starts up
👍
Pretty good 👍
One of the best apps in the store. But one features request!
Believe me, friends, I have tested **all** the markdown (and rtf) apps in the app store trying to find the right one. I’m picky, and I want certain features and certain controls for the user interface. There are only two that fit my brief on Mac: Paper and Typora. There is only one that fits it on iPad and iPhone: Paper.
I love it so much I actually paid the developer for the Mac version (warning: cost is pricey!), not least because he very kindly does not lock any useful features behind a paywall. In a subscription-based world, this is truly a breath of fresh air. I will happily pay for software that I really plan to use for a while. I regard that as a good investment, and I think that devs deserve to be paid, especially the indie devs. But I hate the subscription model, because I hate the corporate abuse of the subscription model. Thank you, Mihhail, for doing something decent and kind, whilst still trying to earn your living.
Things I love:
1. It’s not a note-taking app. Those have their place. I use Obsidian for note-bundling. But for just writing documents, I want a simple document-based interface that lets me save anywhere and access from anywhere.
2. You can work in WYSIWYG mode, but still get at the markdown code.
3. It’s aesthetically pleasing, and has a smooth workflow, and it’s designed to be so: well-thought-out, beautifully presented.
4. It lets you tweak your settings till you have the workspace that you want, not the workspace that the dev thinks you ought to want. Then it gets out of your way. Coming from a world where word processors (and even .md editors) constantly think they know what you want better than you do (looking at you, Microsoft!), Paper lets me just get back to me and my words.
5. The dev likes to put little touches of finesse in his visual presentation and app settings. On his website, he says he’s not sure if anyone really notices. I certainly do. (The “Nitpicking” menu says all you need to know!)
6. Works the same across Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
7. Future proof. I’ve been avoiding .doc and .docx for close to 30 years. But I’m currently working in an MS-centric environment and Pages was becoming a faff. I needed something that would just work, provide legible, convertible documents that weren’t dependent on a particular software package. RTF is a good option, but old and creaky. Markdown mostly fits the bill. If this dev quits developing, my stuff is safe.
Things I don’t love:
1. Honestly, there’s not much I have to say here. And that says something about the app. I can usually find any number of little niggles that irritate me. I haven’t found any here.
2. **However** — and here’s the feature request! — *please, please, please,* Mihhail, would you consider implementing colour text rendering in Preview mode? This is a feature that Typora and ia Writer both do, and for my purposes (liturgy writing with a lot of red rubrics) it makes a big difference seeing coloured text instead of <span style="color:#9f201c">**make this text red.**</span>.
I’ve already given this 5 stars, but add that feature, and this will truly be the perfect markdown app. 😀
This app is amazing!
But sometimes my stories get deleted. I’m not sure if this is happening to anyone else but yeah.
Anyway, great app.
