I love that iA Writer has made it easier to publish to micro.blog. I just don’t know if I can get away from using Drafts. I’ve been using it for so long, it’s like second nature to me. Not to mention I use Drafts for everything else when it comes to writing.
@maique I change apps like I change socks. I'm always adding and deleting and moving them around. Drafts, however, has been in my dock for years and will stay there.
@greghiggins my thinking is iA Writer, I do see it as a place where everything I write (that is long format) can live forever, whereas Drafts I’ve never seen it in such a way. Yet, most of my writing starts in drafts or used to, will see how that changes with iA back in the picture. And I can see myself starting something I think will be a short post and then evolving into something bigger and move it to iA and publish from it or publish from Drafts but I think that my post to Micro.blog with tittle action has a another step that I can send that text somewhere else, like iA Writer in this case. I don’t know, will see how it ends up being.
@Gabz I'm thinking about this same type of setup because I like the inline picture aspect iA Writer allows. So I may start a post in Drafts and eventually move it to iA Writer to clean it up and publish it.
@greghiggins I know some folks that have this exact same process. They may start a post in drafts but then move it to iA for formatting and such
@maique That's the same for me. I used to keep all my notes in Drafts but I have recently moved that to Apple Notes. Mainly because I feel like Apple Notes will be around for years and years. Drafts is ran by one person and if something happens....or it goes away, I'd be in trouble. So now, the only thing I do differently is I store long term notes in a different place. Everything still starts in Drafts.
@Gabz that's probably what will happen here but I'll have to play around with it some more for sure.
