Instead, iAWriter uses a fairly obscure third party framework/plugin called IndieAuth. Unfortunately, as well as being one way, and publishing only in HTML, iAWriter has made the strange decision to bypass WordPress’s two API’s – both XML-RPC and REST. I’m writing now in iAWriter and it’s my main writing tool. iAWriter is harder for me to criticize.$10/month to publish in one direction to WordPress is not a Faustian bargain with which I’d be happy. We’re also not keen on apps making themselves online services when they could be local. Foliovision does not approve of subscription apps for applications that are not true online services (Drafts is piggybacking on iCloud). The second is that it’s a subscription app. Drafts has two demerits: the first is that it requires iCloud to sync.Byword has the merit of working properly with XMP-RPC (built into WordPress) and allowing custom fields (great for meta descriptions, short titles, long titles) although the interface is a bit awkward, requiring pasting in the custom field meta_key each time.Once you’ve pressed publish, your post will be in HTML All of Byword, Drafts and iAWriter publish in one direction: from Markdown to WordPress. Three of them are a disappointment to serious Markdown writers who wish to publish on WordPress. There’s four active players: MarsEdit, Byword, Drafts and iAWriter. 1 The ideal is to allow both writing and editing in Markdown. What I’m most focused on here is on OS X WordPress publishing tools which at least allow the writer to write in Markdown.
