Drafts has long been in my dock. It is the essential start for almost all of my text: messages, emails, Tweets, notes, post ideas, etc. all start there, and go some where else thanks to the power behind the app’s simplistic interface. The other day, Gabe over at Macdrifter wrote a great post, Getting Drafts … Continue reading Using Action Sets in Drafts →

I am constantly finding new things to use my favorite app Drafts. Everything text starts in Drafts, just like this post. All of my lists, my notes, and my thoughts start here.

I wanted to share with you a quick tip on footnotes. I love using them in my posts, mainly because it’s how I talk.[1] I’ve implemented the use of Bigfoot.js footnotes in my site, and I’ve been happy about it ever since. Recently, I asked about how I can renumber footnotes in my writing when … Continue reading Named Identifiers →

When I write most anything, I’m writing in MultiMarkdown. It’s a “superset” of Markdown, giving you more options to create text formatting with ease: features like tables, footnotes, and citations are simple to create, but can greatly enhance your writing. The use of tables is a feature that I don’t often use, but probably should. … Continue reading Automated Tables →

Drafts — Where text starts on iOS. This has been the tag line for the app since its inception. Many people use this as their single place of text input and output, exporting ideas to other apps for a myriad of reasons. It supports writing styles like MultiMarkdown; it supports scripting via JavaScript and x-callback-url … Continue reading Using Drafts As A Main Text Editor →

Last week, my internet-buddy Sam asked for a workflow that would scan some text for incomplete Markdown links and present a way to fill in the missing URLs. The links look like this: Something [to link to](). The goal is to let you write without having to stop what you’re doing to hunt down a … Continue reading "Lazy Markdown Links With Workflow"

I feel like I’m not getting things done, but what’s the reality? The reality is that I am not Getting Things Done, but what I’m doing is getting … Continue reading Overwhelming Productivity →

(Full-res) I almost can’t believe there was a time when the iPad didn’t have Split View. Or that, for years, I thought Apple would never bring split-screen multitasking to iOS. More than any other iOS update before, iOS 9 has fundamentally reinvented the role of the iPad in my computing life. As I’ve written in
