More often it is another text file that lies in a wasteland of old text snippets in Dropbox. Typically I open up a new document and just start writing stream of conscious thoughts about the app, once I am done those thoughts sometimes become reworked and interweaved into whatever I may write about the app. I am constantly testing different text editors on all sorts of platforms and because of this I have a standard way of testing these apps. That’s what I did before iA Writer came out and before we get into what I am doing now (and what I think I will continue doing) let’s take a look at iA Writer for the Mac.

I did this all with the occasional post written in Notesy or iA Writer on my iPad when my Mac wasn’t convenient to use. Since OmniOutliner came out I began outlining posts on my iPad, tossing that outline into TextMate and writing and editing in TextMate. When I open TextMate I know it is time to write. To give you a very short synopsis, iA Writer may once again make me rethink the way I write and that’s a good thing.Ĭurrently I write everything in TextMate on my Mac, this was a conscious decision I made to standardize my writing environment. This app is so very basic and simple, yet so very interesting that I find myself both struggling to describe what makes the app good and having to hold back praise of the app at the same time. I have long been a fan of their iPad version and was really excited to see what they could do with the Mac version. Writer is in every way, shape and form, an exercise in minimalism and focus. The latest app from Information Architects, (), has been highly anticipated since iA launched their incredibly popular iA Writer app on the iPad.
