Before I shared my writing tools on my knowledge planet, some students said that they were not very clear about the specific tools I used for WeChat, and why I chose so.
I will simply use an essay today to share several commonly used writing tools: OmniFocus, Evernote, HHKB, MWeb, IPic, to facilitate later classmates to make some choices for comparison.
OmniFocus
First of all, I recommend OmniFocus. This tool is a GTD time management tool. My daily inspiration capture, work planning, schedule, etc. are all handled through it.
In GTD time management applications, it is the most respected APP, there is no one. I have used things, tick list and other applications before using it, but after all I gave up for various reasons, and now I use OmniFocus stably.
OmniFocus is not only well-designed but also rich in functions. It integrates the concept of GTD, and cooperates with IFTTT to combine email, phone, Github, Evernote, etc. There are so many things that can be done. Interested students can understand, I personally I highly recommend everyone to use it.
The main disadvantage is that it is a bit expensive and limited to the Apple platform.
Evernote
With the inspiration collection tool, we need to collect the corresponding writing materials.
Here I mainly recommend Evernote, the Chinese version of "Evernote". When I wrote this article, I went to the official website and found that the test version of "Evernote" in August this year already supports the function of "Markdown". Features for many years.
Why is Evernote my main material collection tool?
Because through it, I can not only collect articles to "Evernote" on WeChat and Weibo with one click, but also use clip to collect web pages when browsing the web, also through RSS subscription tools, and even by binding IFTTT. Synchronize your daily "Circle of Friends", "Weibo", "Twitter" and other content to Evernote, etc.
It can be said that almost all the channels I contact with daily are covered, and it can be solved in various ways without coverage.
It should be noted that the data of the Chinese version and the international version are not communicated, and the international version does not have the markdown function.
Web / HHKB
With OmniFocus's inspiration capture and Evernote's data sorting, the next recommendation is MWeb, the Markdown editor.
As a Markdown editor, MWeb not only supports uploading pictures to Qiniu Cloud, but also custom picture bed services such as Photo Cloud, and also supports publishing notes to Evernote, Tumblr, Medium and other platforms, which is very convenient for text writing enthusiasts.
I personally like the real-time preview of picture paste (but only picture preview). It is a complete immersive writing experience. I found that many editors do not have this function. Turning on the preview function disturbs writing. If it is not turned on, there is no preview effect and it is easy to misuse. , This is a point I like very much.
After talking about the editor, let’s briefly talk about the HHKB capacitive keyboard. This is my main keyboard for typing and typing. It is not only suitable for carrying when going out, but also tailor-made for Vim/Emacs users. It is an essential artifact for improving efficiency. It’s no exaggeration to say that you like writing keyboards with half the credit.
As mentioned in the previous article, you can look at 4 electronic products that enhance your happiness
IPic
IPic was created by an independent developer. From the product he created, he knows that he is a writing enthusiast and understands the pain points.
This image upload tool not only supports "screenshot" upload but also "copy image" upload, and the uploaded file automatically generates a link in Markdown format, which is very convenient for Markdown users. The image upload process also supports uploading multiple images at one time. Defined picture bed.
Although MWeb can also upload, it is not so free and flexible.
With this tool, whether you are in Zhihu, Douban, or the V2ex community for discussion is a very convenient tool.
At last
Above, I briefly introduced a few tools that I used to capture my ideas, collect data, and organize and write articles. These tools are not the best, they are more of personal preference. What do you think are good tools? Welcome to leave a message to recommend~
