I think some enterprising sociologist could map out the most procrastination-inducing tasks of modern tech workers by counting how many nearly-but-not-exactly identical apps exist for a given workflow. I think I personally need to keep myself from surveying any more to-do or writing apps for the next six months. Yes, I could spend the $20 to download this and spend the next two hours seeing what it does and doesn't do. Then I could open up Byword and wonder if it's really minimalist enough and spend an hour tweaking it's color scheme. Then to be fair, I haven't studied the latest versions of iAWriter and Simplenote for a year or so, so I should finish off the afternoon seeing what they've been up to. And then really, do I need this in-between app space at all or should I handle the low end with Drafts and NVAlt and the organized side with Evernote and GDocs? Hmm...,, let me Google the last year's workflow posts from the productivity geeks...
I mean no disrespect to the Realmac folks. This looks great. And maybe it is the minimalist Markdown editor to end all minimalist Markdown editors. I'm just needing some self-discipline when I read a post and see myself get all excited.
Looks interesting. I'm curious to see how it compares with Byword, FoldingText, Ulysses III, nValt+Marked, etc. I downloaded the trial and noticed a bug in the RTF export (extended ascii characters not supported) -- reported this to Realmac. It would be interesting for you to update your post "Regarding my dream Markdown editor" with a comparison of some of the current editors. Another thing for you to consider for all your spare time <smile>.
I'm trying Typed now – The only thing I've changed from the defaults is getting rid of the "Inspirational" quotes. It seems more responsive than Byword on my aging iMac so far, which is a good sign, and I feel like it hits the minimalist vision a lot better.
