New Desk Version

Good to see the update to this interesting blog editor. I notice that the update is essentially a bug fix for version 1.0 bringing the editor up to version 1.1. I certainly have not problems with the developer doing this rather than just bring out a new update with new features while ignoring bugs. I am hoping, however, for some new features to try out in a future update, although at the same time I know that I’d be upset with an editor which ended up with everything including the kitchen sink added, suffering from featuritis!  At this point Desk is hitting the sweet spot.  

This editor was reviewed recently just after I purchased version 1.0 of the software.  

StackEditing Environment

In a further attempt to discover the best environment for writing and posting blogs, I’m presently writing the post in stackedit which I’ve used before but only briefly. I particular like being able to write using markdown of course and I also like having live preview showing up on the right hand side of the screen. I’m not too sure, however, just how much of a slowdown said live preview will create on this left hand side text window. Still, I’m ahead of the gain at the moment and I’m not experiencing any delays in writing of text. There’s a slight lag in the preview window, which is actually probably good since it’s less distracting to have that window being updated character by character, as it were.

I’m also curious about using this environment in conjunction with Google Drive. So far the response for synching to this service is very good, but it’s hard to compare it with Dropbox which I’ve also never had a problem with.
