Type certain words and press Enter key then you have a new blank document.įifth, Realtime preview of markdown is available. If you type certain words, the list below shows documents that contains the very words. What this omnibar does can be best explained by saying that it works just like upper bar in Notational velocity, the famous minimal text editor for Mac. TextDrop uses Omnibar located on the top to create and retrieve files. In my case, I just enlarge the characters by using Control + Upward mouse scroll on my chrome browser.įourth, Texdrop has powerful search functions with Omnibar. Incidentally, if you do need bigger fonts, You can have them by using built-in keystroke of your browser. However, these days, with many minimalist writing software like iA writer and OMM writer that have barely no options, this looks more like a better move made by the developer to prevent writer’s distraction. In the past, this would have been considered as something incomplete for a program. The only options available are sharing of documents using dropbox and publishing into a public folder of dropbox. Actually, there is nothing to do with text formatting with this software. Third, it has a simple design with minimal options.Įditing screen of TextDrop has no setting for changing or enlarging fonts. You can hide the left pane by dragging it to the left to have a fullscreen editing mode.If you are using Windows, you can also hide all top menus by pressing F11 key of the browser. While these software mainly use black background and green fonts as default theme, TextDrop only offers while blank screen and black colored font.

The left pane of TextDrop sows a list of documents. Major features of TextDrop I find very useful are as follows.įirst, it can access and sync with every folder of Dropbox. And I found a solution in a brilliant softwaer called TextDrop. So, I have been searching for online writing program that can offer both access to all Dropbox folders and fullscreen editing mode. There simply is no way to hide the left pane that contains the list of documents. As I have many text files across different folders of Dropbox, I am seriously limited in terms of choosing which files to work on when I use Simplenote. Although it syncs with Dropbox, Simplenote can access only one Dropbox folder that you have to designate in its setting. However, Simplenote did not fully meet my requirements, namely the above-mentioned two features. Now I have been using the software for more than 2 years. A clean blank screen with no menus or other windows helps me to concentration on writing.Īmong many web-based writing software, Simplenote has been my choice mainly because of its excellent sync with Dropbox. ![]() I am accustomed to using fullscreen mode on software like writeroom, iA writer, and Scrivener. Second, fullscreen mode for less distraction. therefore, any online writing software to be useful should have an ability to sync with folders of Dropbox. All my blogs posts, memos, book plans are stored in Dropbox. This review is about a new online software called TextDrop I recently found.īefore reviewing TextDrop, I need to share two most desirable features that I expect from good online writing software.įirst, a seamless and fast synchronization with Dropbox.ĭropbox, a wonderful cloud service for file synchronization, is at the center of all my writing projects. ![]() Although I have been using Simplenote until recently, I have always been looking for better alternatives.
