Existing solutions for writing:
- Hemingway app: does style and spell checking, but not able to add pictures in the text (I write a lot of posts that include pictures and I'd like to have them visible as I write)
- Grammarly app: same as Hemingway, same downside, no markdown export
- iAWriter: desktop app, inferior grammar and style check
- All desktop apps won't have Grammarly support: Typora, Byword, Calmly, Ulysees
- Google Docs: This is my go-to solution - good Grammarly support, I have markdown export using an extension. However, the writing experience is not ideal with page breaks.
Todo:
- [ ] make a list of bloggers and newsletter writers and ask them about their writing process (DM/email)
- [ ] if they reply, schedule a 15 minute live call to discuss further, pitch them on the idea (maybe some basic screenshots of the prototype)
