Final thoughtsīyword premium is a new feature, it is in its first iteration, and so far it is very promising. Will it be Tumblr, Evernote, Personal blog, or AlphaEfficiency, I have that choice at the click of a button. Evernote integration made it my number one working area, as whatever I create, I can choose the final destination of my work. Not all of my writing will turn out to be a superior blog post, yet sometimes I want to save it as my diary entry. Evernote integrationĪs you know, Darren and I’ve been playing around with Evernote a lot lately, and for both of us, Evernote serves as a long-term memory. The fact that it supports both iCloud and Dropbox sync, makes it perfect for splitting blog work from private stuff. The fact I won’t be using it for the production doesn’t mean that I won’t be using it for publishing, where it is superb as it is. All that needs to be done is hitting “publish”.Īs much as I hate Byword on iPhone for writing on it (I write in WriteRoom, because of full-screen capabilities), Byword has managed to push a big part of the publishing process away from Poster app (which is unfortunately not sold anymore), to itself. Once we sort that out, we’re pretty much good to go. Usually, we leave the article for another guy to edit it, and add his own thoughts and potentially links. Both of us access the same folder through Byword, and from that point on, we’re one click away from publishing. How Darren and I do it the Alpha Collaboration style?ĭarren and I share the Dropbox folder, where we shoot up all the things we write. Because now, it happens in the same location. It is something that is as easy as writing itself. And publishing is honestly not a chore anymore. It is something that ultimately changed my view on writing. And for all old faithful Byword fans, who are also blogging, this additional feature is going to be mind-blowing. Publishing is slowly becoming a new norm. I’ve sent the blog post as a draft initially, but then I moved on and scheduled a post. I was tipping the toes slowly, so I’ve added AlphaEfficiency as well. ![]() How I saw it on preview, that’s how it looked like on the blog itself. The formatting and editing were “just right”. I’ve done it a couple of times for my personal blog, but then I’ve seen how seamless and well it worked. So I decided to go with the iOS version and started using the iPad as a main posting tool. But then all of that changed…įor a while, I resisted getting Byword premium, as it was 5$ for both OS X and iOS version, and I thought it was too much. Fining a blog post was a workflow that required 3 apps per post on average. ![]() Usually, it would start in nvALT, I would edit in Byword, for the Markdown preview and fine-tuning, and ultimately post it through MarsEdit or through WordPress dashboard. And my blogging process was on that note completely separated. My favorite Mac writing applications were switching between nvALT and Byword, and somehow I wanted to store all of my written data in Evernote. One of the silent shifts, that I didn’t mention much on this blog, was a transition from various writing apps to a single one: Byword.
