Inspire is a great markdown text editor helping writers to stay focused Inspire is a great text editor helping writers to stay focused. I was using Ulysses on Mac, and was looking for an equivalent on Windows. It had to : - work with plain text files (no custom database or file format) - support Markdown language - be able to share files with Ulysses with no conflict (through Google drive or Dropbox) That's exactly what Inspire does ! Now, I'm writing on Windows with Inspire with as much pleasure and focus as with Ulysses on Mac. I'm writing diary entries, novels, and blog posts. Inspire allows me to keep all my writings in one place and to organize them neatly through simple forlder structure. I do appreciate the feature allowing to post directly to Wordpress. I can work on a draft from anywhere, including when I'm offline (which helps stay focused), and then post it to wordpress once I'm ready. Is it perfect ? No, but the only (small) issue I can think of is the support of foreign characters. I'm usually writing in french, and I noticed that in some screens (not in the main editor window), accented characters are not displayed properly in the current version. But that's really a meaningless issue compare to the overall quality of Inspire :)

Writing between Windows and Obsidian with Inspire Writer I was looking for a very simple Markdown writer app as a fiction writer. I have recently taken up the Obsidian notetaking app, and enjoyed learning Markdown with that. I wanted a simple but speedy writing app to take over the complexity of Scrivener. I can write in Obsidian but there are still many issues - tables in particularly are difficult in Obsidian's markdown format. After trialling Inspire Writer for 7 days free trial I was overjoyed to find that I could simply map to my Obsidian notes folder on my PC, and writing in both has real time saves. Write a new note in Inspire Writer, and it appears immediately in Obsidian. Inspire Writer adds some additional benefits - tables and footnotes are really easy with a popup box to input into. Much easier than even Obsidian's Advanced Tables plugin. Inspire lets me tag files (called sheets) with inhouse tags also (not affecting my metadata tags inside of Obsidian) which I use for other purposes. Inspire publishes to Medium and Wordpress also, a huge bonus for blog posts. The only downside to Inspire is its image view and insert functionality. Inspire only deals with external images (hosted on the web, so only URLs). Obsidian holds images inside the Obsidian folders for copy/pasted/dragged images. Inside of Inspire the same note.md file only shows the Obsidian URL for this internal image, and does not show the image. The ease of doing markdown tables and writing quickly when drafting made me take the purchase option for Inspire Writer.

Best text editor for a beginner The most important cause I'm using this app is because of its minimalist look....When I searched on the we for text editors the first thing that came to me is Atlantis word processor, which by the way is too complicated...… Then what came was IA writer which was not that good. While scrolling through the page I noticed this text editor which is very good

# Review on Inspire Writer for Windows # Review on Inspire Writer for Windows This is the kind of a non-distracting typing tool on Windows. It really gets you into writing right away. What makes it special is that You can have all your clear area to start typing, yet, you still have all the features you need to support your writing activity. For instance, it has this wonderful Markdown system. If you want to have a headline, a list, or such, then you only have to type it (don't need to find the menu to do these). For example if you want to make a Headline 1 just type # in the beginning of your sentence. Then to make headline 2, just type ## in the beginning of your sentence, and so forth. Simple as that. When you type a numbered list, just start with 1. and it will automatically numbered your list. Or you can try with the dash mark - to start an unordered list. If you forget the Markdown code, you can just click the bucket icon on the lower left side of your typing area. Another good thing I like with this app is that we can easily export our writing directly to our WordPress blog. Complete with the tags as well. So don't let the clear and simple appearance fool you. Inspire Writer back you up with all the necessary tools in hand. Even in the fullscreen view, the tools are just beside you (on your left screen) with subtle grey color, so it's still not distracting while you're typing.

Good for multiple notes at a time! program highlight: Note previews on the sidebar. Can view other note content and jump between them so quickly. I really liked how each page displays on your sidebar with a few lines of preview. As a forgetful person it is important for me to be able to see snippets of different documents at a time, as opposed to having to jump between them again and again. On this note, the transition between pages is seamlessly fast, being that they are just rich text pages. This is opposed to multiple heavy word documents that you much flip between. What I don't like however, is how from what i remember, you must keep exporting your files to be able to read them on other documents. I remember having to do this to read on my phone, due to a lack of a mobile app. I do appreciate that things can just export as text documents. I say this because it could have been like mobile app I have which exports all notes to a single file, filled with app-to-read formatting jargon... Not sure I'll use the blogging integrations, but I just liked the app as a writer for a collection of small tidbits that I can jump between. The word count progress is a cool feature, and the tags too which I have yet to use properly. Users of a simplistic, older looking UI will appreciate how inspire looks, compared to the look of Joplin.
