I had forgotten that I had purchased iA Writer and had the app installed on my Mac. So odd that I missed this. Anyway, with my plan to shut down Scribe, I am back to writing with iA Writer. I believe Ulysses' overall better experience, both writing and publishing, attracted me to the app. I subconsciously... www.amitgawande.com

@amit How would you compare iA Writer to Ulysses and the write.as Editor for writing blog posts?

@moonmehta Ulysses is a lot more polished, well integrated. Feels native which after all it is. iA Writer is a bit minimal, feature wise. I love Ulysses overall for writing. But is way too costly (another subscription) and the Library model for posts is terrible. It for some reason is always syncing.

Write.as editor is a whole different experience given it is web-based. Still closer to iA Write I would say than Ulysses.

@amit Thanks. Is it possible to change the font on iA Writer to Serif instead of Monospace which seems to be the default?

@moonmehta I think they still have the same three typefaces that they talk about here.

@amit Thanks. Found a support page that confirms they have those three same font options, which is not ideal for me since I love Serif for writing!

@abc Thank you David for your kind words. I always thought I could never write candidly. But I do try 😊

@amit I thought you were looking for a web writing experience coz you were on Windows, and there weren’t any native apps that you preferred. I may have been mistaken

@amit Indeed! The trouble I faced there was that even though I was willing to pay for write.as Pro, the payment system stopped working for Indian cards. And there’s no response from Support, which is practically non-existent just like Feedbin.

@pratik Not for Windows — I love web interface because I have consistent experience across platforms. There was a time when I had a work Windows laptop. Don’t have it anymore.

@moonmehta I faced the same issue. An email to Matt (or was it on the help forum?) sorted the issue for me.

@amit I have long stopped receiving email responses from Matt or write.as Support. Anyway, it’s fine in the sense that I just use Micro.blog for my desired use case now.
