Writing Kit The best Markdown editor on iPadWriting Kit 2.0 - The quest for the best Markdown editor on the iPad.

I’ve been searching for a good Markdown editor now for a while. I mainly want to use it for writing blog posts on my private blog, but also for editing other stuff that I write. The criteria I need in a program is the following:

 

  • Be able to sync with dropbox.
  • Preview Markdown documents.
  • Work with folders within Dropbox, so syncing with Scrivener, my favorite writing app on my Mac, works.
  • Work well with app switching on the iPad, so I can do research on the web in Safari, and quickly switch back to the text editor.
  • Work with other tools like TextExpander touch and terminology App.

IPad crash – Fixed!

IPad crash Fixed!

iPad crash problem fixed.

It looks like I finally found a solution to my iPad crashing problem. My first generation iPad crashed all the time without any apparent reason. I found it on a forum and I’ve been running my iPad all day without one crash. Haven’t been able to do that since upgrading to iOS 5.01.

All you need to do is to reset all settings. Open the Settings app and under General and choose Reset. Press Reset All Settings. This sounds dangerous, but you won’t lose any data, only your settings. The machine will show a progress bar, which is normal. After the machine is reset, you should now hopefully have an iPad gen 1 that doesn’t crash all the time. All the settings for mail etc wasn’t affected by the reset by the way.

Problem with flickering screen on iPad fixed in iOS 4.2 beta 2I’ve had problems with my new iPad, where the screen would flicker when the brightness was set to a low setting. Very irritating. My first fear was hardware problems but after upgrading to the latest beta version of iOS, 4.2 beta 2 the problem is fixed! Yay! No need to replace my beloved iPad.

**Update**
A bit too fast, the problem remains.
