Grant Writer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/17/2020 "Inspire takes the friction out of writing." 5/5 What do you like best about Inspire Writer? The upsides are that there are no distractions in the user interface and that it helps me get my ideas out of my head and onto paper very easily. The 3 simple panels give me a birds eye view of things but allows me to drill down very quickly. If you compare this to an outliner, it gives me the ability to "hoist" if you will, or drill down and just focus entirely on one piece of text/info/content. Another thing I like about it is that it incorporates Markdown. I cant imagine writing without using Markdown. This makes the content developed in Inspire very portable where I can move the content to DropBox, OneDrive or anywhere else for that matter. I love the groups and sheets concept. Sheets make it very easy to manage my content no matter if its a book Im writing or an article or anything else. This is a better tool to use as a writer than Scrivener or Speare which is a fairly new tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Inspire Writer? Not much to not like about this. One thing I miss is that you cant change the style as easily or even at all like you can in lets say Ulysses. Style guides would be incredible here. That said, it is possible to change the font, which is great. It really is. Another thing that I am not crazy about is that there isnt an IOS version. Again that being the case, Inspire does allow you to transfer your content to other apps through the cloud, so its not a show stopper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Inspire Writer solving and how is that benefiting you? The kinds of problems Im solving are twofold. First I'm in the middle of writing Kindle books. And with all the research Im gathering, its essential to have a tool to begin putting it all together. Trying to turn all that info into a unified thought or hypothesis or angle, is tricky if you don't have the best tool to write with. The other is grants. Im using this for grant writing and managing. Organized thoughts are essential with development of grants for a nonprofit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Validated ReviewerSource: Organic MD Michael D.

Best and most elegant Markdown Editor for Windows Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/10/2019 "Best and most elegant Markdown Editor for Windows" 5/5 What do you like best about Inspire Writer? When I was an iPad user, I made use of Ulysses App for my rw writing process, means writing th first draft of a short story, novella or even a novel. Over tha past years I found some MD-Editors for Windows but not a single one could convince me as much as the Inspire Writer, which unfortunately I found far too late. I always was looking for an elegant, yet stable and usable MD-Editor and with Inspire Writer, I got so much more: Auto save, MD-highlighting, document management, tagging, all done by shortcuts on the keyboard so I never need to put my hands from the keyboard. The GUI ist simple and elegant and offers a distraction free environment that keeps me focussed on that, what I really want to do: Writing. Contact and support to and from the team easy, fast and very helpful, the team is happy about ideas from their customers. I really can and will recommend this fresh and crisp Markdown-Editor to everyone, who wants to focus on text and wants to have a big bunch of export functions, as well as direct publishing from within Inspire Writer to Wordpress and Medium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Inspire Writer? I cannot point out any dislike as I could not find any. Well, no productive software is ever finish and so is it with Inspire Writer - but that leads to a lot more sadisfaction as they keep up the good work and continue to extend the product with new features.
