You’re welcome. That’s awesome! Even better that it was on sale. I hope you enjoy working with it as much as I do. If you have any questions about it or there are some pain points you experience with it, ping us at nerd@thenerdgarden.com and let us know. We are always looking for new ideas for videos.

Thanks for the reply! Ulysses just put on a 25% off sale for being nominated as part of a Best of 2016 in the Mac App store so that made my decision a little easier. Ulysses for the win.

Hi John,
Thanks for stopping by! Great question. No, I don’t miss Scrivener for that reason. I’m not a huge fan of Scrivener’s set up in this area. Project References, for example, is an option where you can pull in hyperlinks, but that’s all it isโ€”a link to a webpage. You can import webpages in, but then it shows up in a totally different location in the project. Finally, if I want to save a resource, I’d prefer to save it and get back to the work. Instead, I found myself having to remember how to get to my notes. ๐Ÿ™‚ Before I switched, I started using the free version of Evernote, with the Evernote Clipper for Chrome. Then I tagged the clips by project. I’ve continued that approach and it’s worked tremendously well. I do, however, miss the word count tracking on Scrivener. The ability to see how much you’ve written against a goal is sweet! Good luck on your decision. Before you commit to one or the other, definitely check out a free trial. Scrivener’s is for 30 days. Ulysses had one that was 8 hours of use I believe (couldn’t find that on their website so double check), but that is 8 hours total not consecutive hours. So you could use it a little here and there for a few weeks and see if it works for you. Let us know what tool you choose. Either way, they’re both champs. ๐Ÿ™‚

The main appeal for me that I can see for Scrivener is the area to dump research materials, like pdfs, images, scraps of information, etc. Do you miss that kind of feature in Ulysses?
