So despite the austere appearance, WonderPen can actually look very, very different, depending on what you want.
#Ulysses vs storymill update
… just to add to my last update on WonderPen, I’ve just discovered the little shirt-shaped icon in the bottom status bar, which allows you to customise the font colour, width of the document, line height, opacity of the document, paragraph spacing and various other things. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify a few more features! It’s not the same thing as Scrivener’s/StoryMill’s index cards, just a simple planner. It’s a very simple kanban board, clearly designed as a straightforward way to keep track of an author’s to-dos. Oh, and it’s worth mentioning that each library also supports its own kanban board, which is a selectable view. But for a cheap’n’cheerful writing app that runs across Windows, Mac and, as Alexander has pointed out, Linux, I think it’s an interesting (non-subscription-based) find. Of course this is all about personal preferences, and yes, I’m sad there isn’t an iOS app - I prefer iOS/macOS combinations myself. >use something cross-platform so I can easily use/sync with iOS, or at >cheaper than Ulysses, but with Ulysses part of the excellent >It’s $40 cheaper than Scrivener, but much less full-featured. As soon as it’s finished exporting something (an individual document, a group of documents etc.), it gives you the option of opening and viewing it. But the (impressive) range of export options does, I suggest, partially make up for this shortcoming. (Maybe that’s a limitation of Electron apps?) So it’s a tidy piece of Electron programming. Joplin and other Electron notetakers with far fewer features). But it’s neat, responsive and clever, and does at least come in well under 100MB (unlike e.g.
#Ulysses vs storymill code
A mono font is used automatically for code blocks (set using the standard Markdown characters). On the contrary, you can change the default fonts for both UI and Editor in Preferences. >No choice of font (although I thought I saw screenshots using a Perhaps a shortcoming, but I tend to use multiple (external) spellcheckers anyway. >No spellcheck or support for macOS’s built-in spellcheck. Yes, in fact it does have typewriter mode, both under the ‘View’ menu and as a keyboard shortcut. True again, not a priority for me as a touch typist note that it does support standard keyboard shortcuts (Cmd/Ctrl+B etc.)
#Ulysses vs storymill how to
Oh, and it also supports document templates, although there isn’t much discussion of how to create them. If you want external themes (for exports), you can also input your own custom CSS (or JavaScript) into the ‘Advanced’ section of Preferences.
But it does have light/dark modes, and you can edit the Editor background yourself in the ‘Advanced’ section of Preferences (using your own colours/images). I’ve set my own system up with Datto Desktop (formerly AutoTask, formerly Soonr). Well, you can put a library anywhere you want, including synced folders in Dropbox, iCloud etc. Pages: Ulysses without cross-platform support or sync.
