Ulysses is 🔥
Ulysses is the best writing app for Mac and iOS. It is a gorgeous, minimal, markdown writing environment that does just about everything perfectly. I write everything in Ulysses except academic papers and classroom assessments. First, the app is beautiful. I’m not, however, going to post a bunch of pictures because their website does a […]
