About iA Writer
iA Writer is a writing app built around plain text and Markdown. Focus Mode dims all but the current sentence or paragraph, and a style check can flag superfluous adjectives, weak verbs and repeated nouns. You write first and preview in HTML later, with links, images, tables and other text files embedded in plain text. Documents from different cloud services can be searched and swapped quickly, the command keyboard can be rearranged, and templates export to WordPress, Medium, HTML, Word or PDF. Version 8.1.2 added spreadsheet-style table editing and Markdown alerts.
iA wrote about the Duo in its blog post "It takes two to Duo" (20 October), and version 8.1.2 (29 October) lists iPhone Duo support: Writer adapts to each pose and keeps its controls on the right, within reach of your thumb. iA has only shown Writer partly folded, so the picture here is its iPad layout.
