Ia writer vs bear reddit11/25/2023 ![]() ![]() The great thing about Bear is that I can organize my notes and I don’t think about where they are saved. Ultimately, the way files are stored really sold me on Nota. Eventually, they plan on building an iOS app as well. So, I use iA Writer on iOS, but I mainly write on my Mac so this isn’t an issue. Only thing on your list that is missing is an iOS app… but Nota’s plain text file design means you aren’t locked in (like you would be with Bear or Craft). This is not like iA Writer which has a full preview split view. It does inline preview, so things like images or math are automatically rendered alongside the rest of the markdown. I think it’s 100% worth the price having paid for all of the above in the past. I’ve finally found an app that has it all: Nota. First class app for the Apple ecosystem.It seems that I prioritize the same things you do: I’ve looked at Obsidian too, but it was eliminated from my list from the get go for design + being overkill for me. However, due to customer feedback we are now thinking about this possibility.I’ve tried many note taking/markdown apps (Bear, Craft, Ulysses, iA Writer, Notable, VS Code + plugins, Sublime Text + plugins, Simplenote, Taio, FS Notes). Panda was initially just meant to be a throwaway tester for the new Editor for Bear. When all the improvements have been completed and Panda is finalised, we will add Panda back into the current Bear via an update (Bear 2.0).Īfter this has been successfully completed, we're thinking about also keeping Panda as a standalone version. It’s as if we pulled the Editor out of Bear so we could focus on all the improvements we have in store for it. Panda really is just the Editor from Bear-no sidebar, no tag library. Regarding clarity on Panda, right now Panda is just a test version of the new Editor for Bear. These features are currently not planned for the short term, but we'll have a talk and think about it. Manual sorting and a form of versioning are becoming popular requests amongst the community, which is now giving us something to bear in mind moving forward. You can also rearrange tags based on the title, the number of notes in the tag and the most used first. If you'd like to change the way your notes are sorted, simply go to: Bear > Preferences > General > 'Notes List Sorting' > Change as desired. Manual sorting is not supported, but you can change the way your notes are sorted. Regarding reordering sections, do you mean in the Notes List? Then further down the line Bear and Panda are disaggregated again - with potentially separate price plans for each? My question is, will Panda offer the above? Is it worth waiting for? I’m also confused by an earlier dev post…is Panda being integrated into Bear only to be separated out at a later stage? So we get Bear 2.0 (which I assume will be another fee?) with Panda integrated. I baulk at the now nearly £50 subscription fee for Ulysses but it seems more powerful than Bear and closer to what I need. The former is probably too complex for what I need but the one off fee is attractive. I can get most of these with Scrivener and Ulysses. I also want something that offers a decent text editing function as well, as well as version control so I can revert back to a version if I’m unhappy with progress. I love Bear’s simplicity but I also want to be reorder sections easily without messing with tags. (Short story collection / novel development.) I now want to write more intensively on the laptop but I am really struggling to decide what software to use. I got a MacBook earlier this year and took out a Bear Pro subscription to import everything off my iPhone’s Bear app. ![]() ![]()
