Rich editor for plain text. Separate content from formatting. Store in Markdown. Texts is a Markdown-based word processor designed for academics. It focuses on producing well-structured content. Clicking on the 'Hemingway' button in the lower right corner of the editor will disable your backspace and delete keys, creating a typewriter experience. This feature is especially useful if you want to avoid editing and force yourself to write.

WordGrinder is a Unicode-aware character cell word processor that runs in a terminal (or a Windows console). Typeface 1 6 0. It is designed to get the hell out of your way and let you get some work done.

WordGrinder is a word processor for processing words. It is not WYSIWYG. It is not point and click. It is not a desktop publisher. It is not a text editor. It does not do fonts and it barely does styles. What it does do is words. It's designed for writing text. It gets out of your way and lets you type.

Disclaimer: WordGrinder is beta software. It's under development and it has bugs. While it seems pretty solid in the author's experience, if you use it for real data it will probably crash, wipe it all, and shoot your dog. Use and enjoy, but with care.

⇡Where?

WordGrinder is hosted on GitHub.

You can get the most recent version of WordGrinder from the project download page.

If you are a Windows user, you will want the Windows installer. Simply run this and it should do the rest.

If you are a Unix user (or, probably, OSX), you will want the sourcepackage You'll have to build this yourself. Decompress it somewhere and readthe README.

If you want assistance, or wish to make comments, suggestions, feature requests or simpy want to talk about it, then you're welcome to file a Github issue, join the mailing list, or just email me directly.

⇡How?

Note to Windows users: this section only applies if you want tocompile WordGrinder from source, which you probably don't.

WordGrinder is written in a combination of C and Lua. This means you have tohave Lua installed if you want to compile it. It also makes extensive use ofUnicode, which means you'll need a Unicode-aware version of ncurses. Fullinstructions, plus the list of packages you need, are included in the README.

Debian and Ubuntu have all the necessary requirements pre-packaged. (That's what the author wrote it on.)

⇡Who?

by C.K. MacLeod

Do you blog efficiently? I try to. Here's how I get a blog post from idea to published, as quickly as possible.

I use

• Scrivener
• Markdown
• Hemingway app
• WordPress

1. Collect ideas in advance. Whenever I have an idea for a post, I create a new file inside of a Scrivener project. If I know something about the topic, I might sketch out a few notes in a Scrivener file, or on a Scrivener note card. Note: Scrivener is brilliant for blog management. You can store all of your posts in one project 'file.'
2. Draft the blog post in a Scrivener file. Do a quick point-form outline and then write quickly, using the Pomodoro technique. Format in markdown. If you have several posts on the go at once, use labels in Scrivener to communicate the status of a draft.
3. Take a snapshot of your post using Scrivener's Snapshots feature. This is a great way to store several versions of your draft, in the event you want to go back to an earlier version.
4. Revise your writing using the Hemingway app. Copy the post into Hemingway's Edit view and make corrections in Scrivener. Take another snapshot in Scrivener. I label this version Hemingway.
5. Prevent formatting problems with HTML. Copy the post (written in markdown) from Scrivener into Daring Fireball's Markdown Dingus. Follow the steps in this post and paste the resulting HTML code into the Text tab in the WordPress editor. Insert any hyperlinks and pictures.
6. Preview the post using the Preview button in WordPress. Remove any extra spaces between paragraphs by clicking on WordPress editor's Text tab and deleting nonbreaking spaces. These are indicated by the code  .
7. Copy and paste the post (HTML version) and store it in Scrivener. You never know when you might need a web-ready back-up copy.
8. Add keywords, select categories, and hit publish.

What tips do you have for streamlining your blogging process?
