What's Pulsar Edit?
A plain-text editor designed initially for programmers.
What makes it useful?
- It's a plaintext editor that doesn't get in the way like a word-processor (although, I'm actually using Markdown )
- Version control is built-in and fairly easy to use (I'll write a blog post about simplifying Git version control for writers one of these days)
- Add-ons help the process of writing (see below)
What packages (plug-ins) are useful for writers?
What about formatting manuscripts for publishers?
I'm using Overleaf an online LaTex converter app that's free of charge.
Addendum: Now added Linter Write Good to Pulsar which picks out words that dull or mess up the prose.
https://packages.pulsar-edit.dev/packages/linter-write-good (requires the Linter package, which then auto-loads the Linter-UI package).
