Now that you know I write in Markdown almost exclusively, it’s time to tell you why. The only step it adds for me is a back-up step: Finish writing, export to Markdown, add to the repo, commit the repo, boom. But what Highland 2 lacks in platform flexibility, it gains in portability: Its files can be output to Markdown and saved in a repo. My mac is slow, my work-on-the-move platform is Windows. But it has a significant limitation: It’s only for mac. In 2018, I discovered that brilliant app Highland 2, which I love for its extended capabilities: Scratchpad, notes, ‘bin’, writing stats, sprints. (I use Bitbucket because it integrates seamlessly with Trello.) My default workflow is now Typora + Github creatively and Typora + Bitbucket at work.

But all new things have a learning curve surmounting the learning curve with docs like code is short and fast (because it’s logical). This is because, like many technical and professional writers of all kinds, I write docs like code. ‘Migrating away from standard writing applications’ means that I only use Word or LibreOffice or OpenOffice (or insert other here) when my clients *absolutely require it*, and even then I try to wriggle my way out of it. Yet in the past year, I’ve started migrating away from standard writing applications, at work and in my creative life. If the internet was a department store with a fancy shopfront, I’m the little girl with her forehead pressed to the glass and drooling at what is within. Since graduating from uni in 2002, I’ve been through so many. The struggle to find a great writing application is real.
