Not Bear Blog, but the markdown app. I used Obsidian for a while and I really liked it, but it felt like overkill so I switched to Drafts. I kinda liked that too but it also felt a little bloated after a while, mostly because it integrates with so many other services. Literally the only feature I used was automatically sending the draft to Micro.blog’s editor, saving me a whopping .5 seconds over copying and pasting it.

Not that that’s a bad thing; it has a ton of useful features for sending stuff to different cloud drives and other social platforms but I don’t use anything but Micro.blog. I use iCloud for all my cloud needs but I can just use Apple’s notes app if I need sync. And I do for some things. It’s just not ideal for markdown.

Bear is everything I need, I think. It’s a simple but powerful markdown editor, and that’s it. Literally. It feels just like Obsidian when you’re typing up a draft, only without extensions, whatever that vision board flowchart thing is in Obsidian, and with no sync options other than iCloud. That doesn’t help me if I need to sync to my Linux devices, but I can still pull stuff from iCloud on the web at any rate. It’s nice. It reminds me a bit of Ghostwriter.
