After listening to a recent Cortex podcast with John Gruber.

Cortex Episode 169 – John Gruber – State of the Workflow

I took from it that he used a few different applications to write and publish to his blog.

After a quick Google, I noticed that MarsEdit was included with SetApp. So I instantly downloaded it and decided to give it a go. Why not get as much value as possible from the subscription whilst I’m at it!

The other application that he mentioned using was BBEdit that I am yet to really look at or try.

This post is written, edited and posted from MarsEdit. And on the whole as I have navigated around it feels a little more intuitive than Ulysses that was my weapon of writing choice previously.

I think the very simplicity and ease of use is what really makes this attractive.

However, only time will tell. I can’t say blog writing apps are something that I usually pay a lot of attention to on the whole.

I will spend some more time with it and come back with a more comprehensive review/overview later on!
