writemonkey3 tests

[josip]

Dear wm friends. Wm3 development has finally come to the point that first semi public tests can begin. Some of you are already on my alpha/beta testers mailing list, but if you are not and would like to have a first peep into wm3, please send me an email (master at pomarancha dot com) and I'll add you too.

Wm3 will be available for windows, mac and linux and I intend to prepare first testing builds in early June. There is a github page that will come handy for bug tracking, feature requests, plugin development and such.

Thanks,

Can't wait!

So is this a total rebuild? I'd love to use WM on my non-windows machines.

Just when I think WM couldn't get any better...

[josip]

Yes, total rebuild!

Very Impressed with the beta! As I had gone more towards linux I was sort of resigning myself to having to go without apps I like such as WriteMonkey, and having to look for poor alternatives but this is very good. I especially like the SublimeText-like approach on some things

Still need to play around with it more (am buried with work projects at the moment) but am excited to see what is in place already.

Many thanks for all the work you have put into this!

I'm going to drop one of my main projects into WM3 today and start
working on it there - the best way to get immersed in the new build!

The one big thing that's missing so far is accessibility - a blind /
vision impaired user accessing the PC with a screen reader can't read
anything in the WM3.

Regards

Quentin.

Absolutely awesome news! Can´t wait for a Mac version. Please make sure you take a look at Ulysses, which is a state-of-the-art Mac text editor -- currently used by most pro writers. It´s a wonderfull piece of application and it would be great to see WriteMonkey implementing some of their best features too :D

Cheers,

Henri

Josip, been a supporter for a while now just a note to say thanks for your continued work on this!

 

Going to look at WM3 today.

Hi
I am trying to instal the WM3 on my Linux mint .
I am failing miserably
Can you advise me on how to run MW3 on linux?
cheers

[indelible...@gmail.com]

Hi,

There is no installation as such, all that should be needed is to extract the archive into a new folder and you should be able to double-click on the 'nw' file. You may need to change the permission of that file to make it executable. If you tried this and it still does not work perhaps you can give more detail on what happens when you doubleclick on that file.

Hope this helps

Hi,
Thank you.

Hi there,

Just testing the beta and you're onto something big with WM3.

For what it's worth, WM3 is more advanced than most Markdown editors with no-nonsense features, easily beating Ulysses.

Now, here's for the software improvements I think might be worthwhile:

• Replace the command palette with something more user-friendly
• Add shortcuts for the Repository / Markdown preview / Wordnik
• Make the Markdown Preview live

To increase WM3's adoption:

• Create a new website highlighting all of WM3's amazing features
• Create 2-3 new templates which are visually "fashionable" to further WM3's envy ;)

'Hope this is somewhat useful.

All the best,

N.Eve

Thank you so much for your work on Wm3. I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas. What you are doing is terrific. A question: is paragraph spacing in Wm3 an option that I am missing somewhere? It helps me in Wm 2.7. I just like to put in a nice bit of space between paragraphs . . . Again, thank you.

Awesome work! I loved the first Writemonkey and so far i'm loving this one as well! 

I would prefer some alternative to the Command Palette. While it's great to reach any option by searching, being able to look at the options with your eyes is important. For a new user looking at what options is available to them, they either have to read the documentation, or scroll through the entire list of commands or possibly guess for terms and see what comes up. For example, i was trying to find how to adjust text size, but i couldn't find any way. Finally, after consulting the documentation, the option was found under "Zoom Font Size", which were terms i did'nt search for.

The F1 screen from writemonkey with a list of most important shortcuts,  a classic tabbed settings page , or even just a menu bar could fix that to the point of new users not getting lost.

I really love your software which works perfectly on my PC but I am having trouble launching the Linux version. I've changed the permissions and such but when I execute the nw file nothing seems to happen. This is due to me being a Linux beginner, but I've run out of places to look for answers so I thought I'Äd just ask. KEep up the great work!
