Writing

I use iA Writer as my main software for writing.

I write everything in plain text files. Mostly Markdown.

It allows me use a great piece of software to write, no distractions and to keep notes in different places:

• Personal notes in Google Drive or iCloud
• Git repos for websites

Things i hate:

• I wish it had Vim mode

Rant

• I have tried an infinite amount of software for long periods of time 6+ months
  • Notion, Google Docs, Apple Notes, VS Code, everything
• I have migrated notes to every system in the planet and I don’t consider it a waste of time
• At this point my requirements are not about software but about the data format. So plain text files so I can migrate them to the next thing
• No notes in a database or remotely stored
  • Websites based on CMS are ok
• I like how the Obsidian CEO thinks
  • Why not obsidian then?
  • I really like obsidian but I had to many vaults and I got tired of having to open the right one sync the plugins and settings
  • I just wanted on simple great app, one window, all notes in simple folders. iA writer does that
  • I might go back for Vim mode but haven’t done it yet
