Two writing apps I use every day, Drafts and Ulysses, were just updated to versions 26 and 22, respectively.
Drafts v.26 Updates:
- Custom syntaxes and themes
- Additions of new themes and syntaxes to the Drafts Directory
- Automatic addition of closing elements, such as parentheses, quotation marks, and brackets as you type
- Ability to back up Drafts Actions
Ulysses v.22 Updates:
- You can now publish to Micro.blog and update posts already published to WordPress
- Customize group icons with colors for easier identification
- Larger headings in the editor window
- Look & feel updates
- A new default theme with larger headings
I do all my blog and podcast writing in Ulysses, while I use Drafts as my daily capture tool. Its collection of actions allow me to share that text anywhere. If you’re a writer of any kind and you haven’t given either of these apps a look, you should rectify that now.
