You can simply create an Apple Shortcut that opens a daily note in iA Writer. Double whammy when you also add your Daily Notes folder from Obsidian to iA Writer and point to it.
(There is a ‘get file’ iA Writer action for when you’re unsure what the path to your note is.)
What the holy hell is this?? (Answer: Microsoft Word a.k.a. Microsoft Turd on the iPad circa April 3 2024). Is this some April Fool’s leftover joke? #academia
As cherry blossoms decorate the streets of Tokyo, Japan is entering the new academic year.
A good time to remind you that we provide educational discounts for #iAWriter and #iAPresenter to students and teachers.
More about the offer on our website:
Uwielbiam pisać za pomocą #Ulysses ale żeby nie było #iAWriter też lubię, ale ta pierwsza aplikacja ma fajne narzędzie do korygowania polskiej pisowni, czego nie ma ten drugi. W każdym razie korzystam z obu. Coś większego pisze na iA Writerze, a później redaguję w Ulyssesie. Małe rzeczy, krótkie felietony, przemyślenia, wpisy na bloga, to robię jednak na Ulyssesie. Podział jest jakieś 80 do 20 dla #Ulysses
My Clicks keyboard just arrived and after just a few minutes playing with it I already love having keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone. Multi-item selection by holding the command key is also a time saver.
It’s cool how many iPhone apps support keyboard shortcuts. Thank you, iPad. Keyboard shortcuts that use three or more keys though are hilariously uncomfortable on the tiny Clicks. Looking at you, #iAWriter.
We are receiving an increasing number of requests regarding a VisionOS version for #iAWriter and #iAPresenter. However, unlike 99% of the industry, we approach our work with great caution and meticulousness, never rushing any aspect. We will wait until we can see and test Vision Pro ourselves. Design takes time.
"Artificial text is a statistical mashup of human quotes. When we quote AI, we quote quotes. We quote a Bircher muesli of quotes, write over it, and then feed it back into the AI system. There our input gets rehashed again. The way it currently works, AI is more likely to reach lukewarm entropy than ice-cold super-intelligence."
Maybe as a plugin/option. Not by default. I like Obsidian’s markdown just as it is.
Edit: also - bugger programs, that should be free but instead costing $50, expecting ultra popular free programs to adopt their “standards” and maybe hoping they can get fame/credit/exposure and more money out of it somehow. #iawriter#obsidian#obsidianmd
As the #Nanowrimo2023 challenge concludes today, congratulations to the winners and a round of applause to all the participants!
Keep those words flowing and see you next year!
“Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of magic.” ―Carl Sagan
"When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, 'I am going to produce a work of art.' I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing." —George Orwell
"Read, read, read. Read everything — trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window." ―William Faulkner
In a mad dash to a client meeting, I made my first presentation in @ia Presenter.
I spent ninety-eight percent of my time shaping my message and two percent clumsily navigating a foreign UI. I spent zero percent on presentation layout and formatting. That part was done automatically and looked great. More here: #ia#iapresenter#iawriter#openformats#markdown
"You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children." —Madeleine L'Engle
“Sit for some time every day (if only for a half hour, though two hours is better and five is remarkable and eight is bliss and transfiguration!) before your typewriter—if not writing then just thoughtfully pulling your hair. If you skip for a day or two, it is hard to get started again” —Brenda Ueland, If You Want to Write.
“If people cannot write well, they cannot think well, and if they cannot think well, others will do their thinking for them.” ―Not George Orwell (Attributed to Orwell by John H. Bunzel, president of San Jose State University) Thank you @uthark for pointing out the correct source.
“You do an awful lot of bad writing in order to do any good writing. Incredibly bad. I think it would be very interesting to make a collection of some of the worst writing by good writers.” ―William S. Burroughs.
