Adding an image is as easy as dropping it on a page Taio will create the correct Markdown link for you. For users who need them, it supports weblinks and wikilinks, as well as backlinks. It lets you move entire lines up and down, save copied text to its own multi-clipboard, save text as snippets if you don’t have Typinator or TextExpander (which it integrates with) for repeated use, and more. That means Taio respects your privacy 100%.Īs a writing and editing environment, Taio is elegant and powerful. Even better is that during my trying it out Little Snitch never caught it calling home. Taio uses iCloud for synchronising across devices but you can have all your documents on your local file system if you prefer. Switching between the editor and other functionality like, for example, file management, is quick and easy. It has plenty of themes and the customisation functionality ensures a personalised writing environment without making that the centre of gravity. Its CommonMark base ensures compliance with an industry standard as does the support for GitHub syntax. The goodĪs a Markdown editor, Taio has everything that you could wish for. The Text Actions I mentioned earlier are scripts with a GUI. Taio supports CommonMark with table support and support for diagrams (js-sequence), flowcharts (Mermaid), and mathematical content rendered via MathJax. The app can be downloaded for free, but backlinks and a good number of power features require a subscription or a lifetime licence.

It’s an elegant Markdown editor with a broad range of capabilities, including text actions, source code editing, wikilinks, backlinks, and more. Taio is developed by a small dev team with a lifetime licence sold on the Apple App Store for less than 50 Euros. Taio aims at becoming one of those on Apple’s platforms. The most powerful apps support Markdown, wikilinks, backlinks and a notes “map” based on links between them. When this happens the file gets moved to the folder _posts.Note taking apps are everywhere and everybody seems to be using them as a “second brain”. It first monitors the _drafts folder for files whose content contains the phrase published: true. There are actually two Hazel rules for this. I then generate the site and deploy it manually, but this will soon be automated as well. Ideally I would like to change the published: false to true and have it posted to my site, but it still requires some workarounds and this is why for the time being my hazel magic script only moves the file to the _posts folder when the published option changes to true. On any other machine they become actual folders. Ln -s ~/octopress/source/images/ ~/Dropbox/PlainText/blog/images

Because my octopress folder does not reside in the Dropbox folder I made symlinks on my Mac to the _posts, _drafts, and images folders so they get synced ln -s ~/octopress/source/_posts/ ~/Dropbox/PlainText/blog/_posts The Syncing is done via Dropbox, because any iOS text editor comes with Dropbox support. When I’m finished with the post I’ll change it to true. Notice that published: false, which means it is a draft. With the help of Typinator on my mac or Textexpander on my iPod I create the yaml header like this. The underscore ( _) on the name of the drafts folder is so that it won’t be deployed, just as the posts folder source/ txt, but I would differentiate them as drafts and most importantly Hazel will be able to do its magic. markdown and that is because I was having issues making Hazel read the contents of markdown files.

You might have noticed that the extension is not. I always write in Markdown (technically I mostly write in Multimarkdown, but that’s another thing).Īfter I decide that this idea is ready to become a draft, I create a text file that follows the same name convention for Octopress ( -Post-title.text) on a folder named _drafts that resides in the source. This is done either on any of the two Macs using nvAlt or on my iOS device using any text editor 5. Ideally any blog post starts with an idea that I write down in a text file named runx-blog_ideas-qqq.txt 4.

I’m still working out the whole remote blogging thing, this is but the first stage of a soon-to-be remote blogging workflow with Octopress. The topic I am addressing here is that of writing blog posts on different devices 2 with the help of Dropbox 3 and Hazel. One of the things I like about having an Octopress driven txt-only blog is that I have the liberty to set things my way. No matter how pointless it seems, I do think that this could prove useful to someone, in the same way I have benefited from others while setting up this site 1. It may seem that, for the most part, I’ve been blogging about blogging.
