One of my favourite all time apps is #iawriter
And it looks amazing on the iPhone duo. Glad to see support added so quickly
Once again though, thanks to the Apple design decision, the otter display experience is lacking with the right hand side bars. I am hopeful that some TLC is given to the outter screen experience because before being a foldable, it's an iPhone first and foremost.
@writeller Ich nutze #novelwriter zum Schreiben langer Texte, für kurze #iAWriter und für die Recherche #obsidian. Alles ist bei mir also Markdown und das ist wichtig für mich, damit Inhalte nicht an ein Programm gebunden sind. Ebenfalls schätze ich bei Novelwriter und iAWriter die Simplizität des UI.
Der Export (Manuskripterstellung) aus Novelwriter ist der unkomplizierteste, den ich bisher kenne. Auch das finde ich sehr wichtig.
#iAWriter’s authorship is still the single best feature more editors need to support! https://ia.net/writer/support/editor/authorship?platform=mac
New post: European mobilisation: does it need a 1980s document model?
@iawriter says Europe does not need to look around for a solution to ridding its reliance on MS Office, it’s already here
https://www.wordius.com/blog/european-mobilisation-does-europe-need-1980s-document-model/
Heute möchte ich denjenigen unter euch, die Bedienungsanleitungen oder technische Dokumentationen erstellen, einen Ansatz vorstellen, der auf offene Applikationen setzt - meist aus Europa - und auf Angebote US-amerikanischer Firmen verzichtet.

Ich hoffe Ihr findet es interessant und ich freue mich über jeden konstruktiven Kommentar 😉
BTW. Currently, the blog post is available only in German 😕

I'm a people manager, not a techie, but I managed to build a widget, and I'm a bit chuffed with myself 😅
You can read about it here:

I'd love to know if you built it and what you use it for.
cc: @ellane - I thought this might pique your interest.
Switzerland actively participates in international #sanctions against #Russia
Yet today Swiss-registered #IA says, “You can now use our apps on devices where App Store is disabled” a wink-and-nudge that they're open to selling to Russia (since they didn't need to explicitly point that out if merely now selling on their site).
I changed my VPN to a Russia-friendly country, said I was in Russia and IA was more than happy to take my money for #iawriter
What say you, @ia ?
New post: The Markdown Link no. 35
Among today’s links are markdown editors Editorio, Byword, Marka and Magic Notebook. There’s also a quick look at AS Notes, which brings the power of knowledge management to VS Code

@mijenix Ich habe erstmal einen Sammelbeitrag gemacht, da liste ich die Rezepte und die kommen dann Stück für Stück, wenn ich Zeit habe.
Zumindest läuft das Bloggen vom iPad mit #WorkingCopy und #iAwriter jetzt super-smooth, das macht Lust aufs bloggen.
Content Blocks on #iAWriter are so useful.
I break my essay into three parts, then reference each in a main draft so I'm not scrolling through thousands of words editing.
folks who have used #iawriter -- what are you using on Linux for your plain text writing?

Updated: 2026 Plus, Minus, Next weekly review - in Markdown. It's fast, flexible, and future-focused! (hat tip to Anne-Laure le Cunff)
Emojis indicate the change of seasons for both Northern and Southern hemispheres. Sunday or Monday start.
Changes in this version: I've added a minimalist version without wiki links or emojis, ready for any text editor.

@cryptgoat I’m kind of still looking for a “designated writing machine” and that could well be it. 🤓
Now, if #iAWriter would do a Linux version …
(I know there a “distraction-free” editors for Linux by the dozen, I keep trying to find the one for me. And then it’s discontinued 🤪)
In einem für wahrscheinlich alle außer mir absolut lächerlich scheinenden Versuch, meine Softwareabonnements wieder auf die einzig vernünftige Zahl 0 zu reduzieren, versuche ich dann jetzt mal herauszufinden, ob der #iAWriter (Einmalkauf) #Ulysses (kein Einmalkauf) nach zwei Jahren mit Letzterem das Wasser reichen kann. Mal gucken, wie lange es dauert, bis mich das alles ganz furchtbar aufregt.
Congrats to @ia #iAWriter for being an ADA finalist! #appledesignawards
It's my go-to.
Давно уже сделал ставку на Markdown для заметок, статей и так далее. И пока фаворитом среди графических редакторов остаётся iAWriter. (Именно графических, в консоли Vim для меня вне конкуренции. :) )
Поэтому поддержу их немного и предложу почитать статью https://ia.net/topics/markdown-and-the-slow-fade-of-the-formatting-fetish
где рассказывают о главенстве содержания над форматированием. :)
Статья на английском!
@ia Irgendeine Möglichkeit andere Cloud-Dienste mit iAWriter (iOS/macOS) zu verbinden? Scheint unter iOS alles nicht so gut zu klappen außer der Apple iCloud. 😞 Oder übersehe ich da etwas? #iAWriter #Jottacloud #FilenIO
I got a question about micropub, so I wrote a bit about my #Micropub server I made so I can publish directly from #iAWriter. It’s been serving me well for about 4 months. A little fiddly at times, but that’s the charm making your own stuff and hosting on Synology in your closet for no good reason right?

Grosse refonte pour la déclinaison Windows d’iA Writer, qui passe en version 2.0 http://dlvr.it/TGm746 #iAWriter #Windows11
@markmcelroy I’ve always liked the new #Obsidian logo. I dislike the new #iAWriter icon and loved the old one, but most people don’t seem to care.
Keep it secret! Keep it safe! With iOS and iPadOS 18 you can now hide and lock your apps using Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode. Use it to protect your most important work from prying eyes.
@TfTHacker @iawriter #iAWriter Love this footnote:
Am finding using #obsidianmd much better on IOS if I use #iaWriter as the editor. I’ve been just using icloud for syncing and can do without the bells and whistles and plugins when working on the phone or ipad.
Struggling to structure your big writing projects? Writer’s 7.2 update makes it easy with document tree view, file/folder drag-and-drop, and easy renaming.
See them in action:

The library improvements in the latest version of #iAWriter are great, but does anyone else dislike the new icon as much as I do? Or disagree with me on that?
I’ve read their reasons for the change (https://ia.net/topics/making-icons-fresh), but in practice it just doesn’t communicate as quickly what app is going to open when you tap or click on it. (I’ve seen this kind of overthinking before.)
I loved the classic iA Writer icon—the design and typography were perfect—and wish there were an option to use it.
@ia With a few minor exceptions where I need #Pandoc conversions, #Vim table mode, or support for an atypical #Markdown variant like #Markua, #iawriter is far and away my favorite GUI editor and note-taking app. It's my second most-used #macOS and #iOS app outside the terminal, with Notes being first.
Now, if only I could get the undocumented format of #AppleNotes to bulk import into iA Writer I could solve 99% of every snippet problem I have ever had! One can dream, right?
💡 iA Writer Tips and Tricks
How to change image size in iA Writer
Mac, iPhone & iPad: Drag-and-drop an image into a document as a Content Block. Add a line of metadata right under the image name, e.g. Width: 50%.
You can also add a height, image title, and alt text this way.
