“My favorite iOS app for writing in Markdown, without question, is iA Writer iA Writer is just beautiful. To me, it’s the gold standard for Markdown syntax styling... an elegant champagne flute. That’s iA Writer for me.” –John Gruber

Bought this in their early years. But they changed the pricing model and my purchase was made obsolete. The developers spend a lot on their publicity but I think there are better alternatives imo.

@ashish_bhateja iA Writer has had free updates for eight years. The original app you mention is 12 years old, had received free updates for 6 years, and worked without any issues for 8, until Apple’s operating system updates made it obsolete. We believe in fairness. We don't believe in working for free.

In 2010, the original iA Writer introduced focused writing with Markdown. Twelve years later, iA Writer opens the doors to a simple and friendly knowledge management system with wikilinks.

Been a dedicated user of iA Writer for almost my entire career. It's an indispensable notepad. I'm not entirely sure how I'll incorporate links into my workflow, but if it's implemented with anything resembling the thought and craft iA put into the rest of the product over the years, I'm sure it'll be well done.

@cdohertyk Thank you for your support, Cole. Wikilinks was new for me, too, when we started two years ago, but it quickly became a very productive and natural habit. I use them when I expand on a thought inside an article that fits but would stretch the purpose of the text. I use them to collect thoughts on my favorite topics (together with hashtags), and I use them for more complex projects (with a TOC made of Wikilinks). There are plenty more ways! You can always get in touch with us if you have questions. If you find a cool workflow, please share it with us.

@reichenstein My workflow is rather boring: I create a new note at the beginning of each month, and each day gets an H2 heading. Then I simply fill it with all the drafts and scratch copy I find myself writing throughout the day, before it is ready for other eyes or to be placed in the 'final' doc. The solo focus/lack of collaboration is actually a huge benefit for me! Perhaps I will begin to remember tagging and linking things together for later reference.
