![]() ![]() ![]() So I did a little poking around and found Taio and 1Writer. Love it for compiling podcast transcripts, writing and blogging. As I mentioned, iA Writer is the app I’ve been using for the past couple years. Gah!! I consider this useful fiddling but I try to keep app jumping to a minimum as that seems to be a huge time suck. So, avoiding the trap of over-collecting via DEVONthink, cleaning up Apple Notes, and now… Markdown Editors It’s also got me looking at how I use Apple Notes… largely, I’ve been far too lazy and sloppy in throwing stuff in there and not cleaning up after myself when notes are no longer needed. So, rather than dive into DEVONthink (which I had been considering) as a catch-all tool my plan is to go the opposite way. I’ve since created a Shortcut that outputs nice, clean markdown via reader view which I’ll mention later. Within just a minute or two I have a very tiny, tidy, portable text file that works in 1Writer and Obsidian and also fairly easy to find in Files/Finder. I hop over to 1Writer and open the new document, clean out any cruft and tag it both in the text and also in the Files app. Rather than just save to pdf I used a shortcut to save a markdown/text file to Files in my 1Writer folder. Recipes are a new thing for me to bother with but I am starting to save a few. It’s a trap a lot of people seem to fall into.Īn example, a few nights ago I happened upon a recipe and considered whether I wanted to save it. I’ve generally been pretty good about not saving everything just because I have the thought this might be useful someday. The deliberation and a slightly different process adds a bit of friction but that’s good in this case. Be it whole files, text, or images embedded in pdfs, etc. To put it plainly, I’m trying to be very deliberate about my accumulation of information I may never need. As a part of considering my intent, I’m also considering the saving process and the information I actually want to save. In yet another post at Mac Power Users, the topic of saving web pages as html rather than pdf files also got me thinking about file format as it relates to what I do with stored files. A couple months in and I’ve hardly touched Obsidian but I’ve been much more proactive in writing of daily notes (a new practice that I’d long pondered) and more writing generally as a result of starting the day with daily notes.Īnother result is that it’s got me thinking more actively and critically about what/how/where/why I save files. I figured I’d just hop onto the Mac occasionally to use Obsidian. ![]() So I moved to experimenting with a couple of other Markdown apps, 1Writer and Taio as they both do well with wiki links (more on these two apps later). Because I do most of my computing on the iPad and there was at that time no Obsidian mobile app (it‘s in beta now), I started with my trusted iA Writer for the back-end editing of files but it does nothing with Wiki links. I started with Obsidian a couple months back but a funny thing happened. This post began as a post over at this thread at the Mac Power Users Forum. ![]()
