@ia @reichenstein any news on #iawriter subscription or #iapresenter bundle? I really want to start using #iawriter but don’t want to buy in under the old model.

Staying in Control with Apple’s AI Writing Tools

What little I can use of Apple’s “Intelligence” in the EU right now (mostly on my Mac) is barely useful (especially when compared to the ones I built myself, but iA Writer has an i(...)

Google is Squeezing iA Writer
Another story of a big tech company using their monopoly to get more money and harm little companies. While I don't use iA Writer currently, I have used it and found it to be an excellent app. I follow their site because they have very interesting content in many fields showing they think deeply about so many things.
I don't blame them for no

The library improvements in the latest version of #iAWriter are great, but does anyone else dislike the new icon as much as I do? Or disagree with me on that?

I loved the classic iA Writer icon—the design and typography were perfect—and wish there were an option to use it.

iA Writer Tips and Tricks

How to change image size in iA Writer

Mac, iPhone & iPad: Drag-and-drop an image into a document as a Content Block. Add a line of metadata right under the image name, e.g. Width: 50%.
You can also add a height, image title, and alt text this way.

I have less than 20 days until my Ulysses subscription ends.

I’m thinking of switching to iA Writer on my Mac.

Any experience of iA Writer compared to Ulysses for blogging?

A very critical look at #AI generated images by #iAWriter: https://ia.net/topics/ai-art-is-the-new-stock-image

Problems:
- we can see it's AI
- they all look the same
- they lack emotion
- they often have ethical issues

Markdown tables can be a real pain to work with.

With Content Blocks you can easily embed CSV files which render as tables.
