Ulysses vs. Scrivener
In a brief Reddit discussion, users of both writing apps ding Ulysses for relying on Markdown for formatting, while Scrivener uses rich text.

I’m writing this post in Markdown, and if you’re reading it on Facebook or Google+, that’s how you’re reading it. But I’m not writing this post in Ulysses; I’m composing it directly in WordPress, which is how I do most of my writing for the blog and social media.
Via the Mac Power Users podcast, which compares Scrivener and Ulysses. I’m listening to the episode now.

They hang up their business suits and bowties. And they even go in for plastic surgery and lawsuits.
I’m 55. I haven’t personally encountered age discrimination. I’m fortunate. Or oblivious.
