Like every post here, it was written in writui itself, in a terminal, in plain markdown, and then exported straight into the site.</p> <p>writui is a writing app for the terminal. Your writing lives in one file, encrypted with your password. The editor is a single quiet column of text, and markdown is formatted as you type: <strong>bold</strong> in bold, <em>italics</em> in italics, <code>code</code> in green.</p> <p>What it does so far:</p> <ul> <li>Posts with a title, saved as you type, with undo and redo</li> <li>Named versions of a post, and a history to bring old ones back</li> <li>Selecting, copying and pasting, with the mouse or the keyboard</li> <li>A menu of everything you can do, on Ctrl+K</li> <li>Copy or export a post as markdown, which is how this one got here</li> </ul> <p>It’s early, and it’s being built in the open, a small piece at a time. The <a rel="external" href="https://github.com/aakashns/writui/releases">changelog</a> lists every release. To try it on macOS or Linux:</p> <pre><code>curl -fsSL https://writui.com/install.sh | bash </code></pre> <p>More soon.</p>
