We’re aware that this was a shocking experience for those affected, even if nothing was actually lost (the original library was “set aside” for some reason, and a new, empty one, was displayed instead). If you’re still having this issue, don’t hesitate to contact our support team.## Other Improvements and Fixes- When publishing to WordPress, marked text is now exported as… a marked text. - When exporting as ePub, links in our Table of Contents now actually link to… the contents.- Our exporters are now better at handling sheets with large images.- We now support equations in TextBundle files inside external folders, so: {external [text (equation) bundle] folder}=1.- And we fixed a couple of obscure crashes and bugs (for example, we fixed a crash in the crash reporter, which sounds funny, but really wasn’t; ok, it was kinda funny).If you're happy with the app, please rate it, or even leave a review. This is a great way to support us indie developers. Thanks a lot! Ratings and Reviews Editors’ Choice Focus on your prose and organise your documents with this app. With built-in blog publishing, grammar and style checkers, and Shortcuts support, this can be your do-everything writing app. Made me switch from Sublime Text 3 I used to keep my notes in tabs of Sublime Text 3 and that used to get a bit cluttered and hard to sort out. Ulysses augments your workflow with GitHub and WordPress support and saves things in iCloud to access from phone. I also love the Second Editor side-by-side mode with parallel scrolling. Being able to preview my changes life in the format of my choice is invaluable for prototyping a document before exporting it. They solved all the inconsistencies in Markup languages and implementations of MarkDown variations with their own ultimate spinoff MarkDown XL. Outline, Annotations and Links helped me summarise the business report I exported in PDF with preview. Thank you very much for your review and for taking the time to write – we highly appreciate it! We're so glad to hear Ulysses was such a great help in writing your business report, with features such as the second editor.

I am severely technologically challenged and the markdown formatting has been a huge time saver and I don't cry while formatting my article, even with images and gifs. I also like Ulysses better than other writing softwares because

Like, but it will also then slice that text up. If you have a character who only appears in chapters 4, 7, 11, and 33, then you can have Scrivener show you solely those chapters.ScrivenerLook at the entire manuscript to get the whole picture, or concentrate on a specific segment. Scrivener bounces between both of these as you want, and it also offers a slew of extra writing, or rather writer, tools.Such as how it handles research. You can drag images, URLs, whole web pages, and even entire other documents into the research section of your book.Then whenever you open your iPad to write, everything you need is there. And when you're ready to send the manuscript to a publisher, they get everything — except the research.Scrivener for iPad costs $20 on the App Store.UlyssesUlysses is a curious writing environment for writers, one that is either completely compelling or just does not feel right to you at all. Rather than having documents per se, Ulysses offers you one single app with one single file — within which you can create countless pieces of writing.Those are called Sheets in Ulysses and, like Scrivener, you can write them all in one go or you can slice them up.UlyssesIt's a Markdown editor which means it feels bare, like Drafts can, and it doesn't have the same full-feature sense that Scrivener does. But wherever you go, whenever you open your iPad, you don't just have your latest writing, you have all of your writing.All of it. Every bit since you started using Ulysses, anyway, and that grows into a very compellingly handy library of all your work.Ulysses is free to download, then costs around $40 per year. It's also available as part of Setapp.As yet, there's no breakout hit app for writing haiku poetry. But there are a lot of apps for writing scripts and screen plays.Scrivener is one of them. As well as prose, you can switch to a scriptwriting mode in Scrivener and it is a good writing tool for screenplays.Screenplays have very specific formats and margins, developed over the last century
