I’ve signed up for a year of Ulysses, but now I’m thinking of returning to Drafts.

@pimoore Ulysses is nicer, I think, if you’re writing in Markdown; Scrivener kinda-sorta supports it but it’s clearly not the focus. A lot of what I write goes out in multiple formats—rich text, Markdown, HTML, occasionally even Word—and Ulysses is just really easy for handling that. And, if you use both a Mac and an iPad, Ulysses is virtually identical on both, while Scrivener’s iPad version is pretty limited compared to its Mac counterpart (unless that’s changed in the last couple of years, admittedly). Scrivener has more controls over its export system and can also act as a kind of digital scrapbook, collecting web pages, images, PDFs, etc., for notes/research, which is neat. The big thing I initially missed was Scrivener’s index card view. (Which IIRC was one of the things that was better on the Mac than the iPad, though!)
