Just a wannabe writer here. I’ve only ever strung a few paragraphs together, maybe an essay’s worth occasionally. I used to work on blog posts in Evernote and I still use it for capturing stray thoughts. I use it as a place for ideas and that’s exactly what happens. I never develop the idea, I just write down another one. Years ago I used Word, but thought maybe now there are apps better suited to the writing process. What do others use for an application/ platform?

    I’m over engineering the heck out of it. My editor is neovim, which I use for work and to write software too. I write markdown, but it’s not just markdown.

    My stuff is somewhat inspired by the SCP wiki in style, so I’m making it a website with fancy styling via CSS and so on, using Jekyll in the backend.

    It’s a lot of fun and I keep learning more about web dev stuff, but even though I spend a large part of my day today working on it, I hardly wrote any new content. But I have a fancy fake login form for classified data, nice colors and a search feature now.

    Just in case, does anyone know a good markdown editor that with good integration for languagetool, or alternatively one that runs in the browser?
