UberWriter
UberWriter is a super cool text editor that's all about giving you a simple and pretty space to write. It takes some inspiration from the awesome iA Writer app for Mac OS X and iOS, so you know it's going to look good!
Key Features of UberWriter
This software comes packed with great features. First off, you get spell checking right out of the box! Plus, there's inline Markdown highlighting which makes writing in Markdown a breeze. If you're into coding or math, you'll love the syntax highlighting for both PDF and HTML documents.
The interface is clean and clutter-free. This means you can really focus on your text or code without distractions. Need to create some beautiful documents? You can do that in Markdown and easily export them to formats like HTML, RTF, or PDF files.
Focus Mode: Stay on Track!
A standout feature is the focus mode. It's similar to what you see in iA Writer—it highlights your last sentence so you can concentrate on what you're writing at that moment. UberWriter also includes handy text processing tools like cut, copy, paste, undo, and redo options. Oh, and did I mention it has full-screen mode? Perfect for those marathon writing sessions!
Pricing Information
You might be wondering about the price. Even though the source code is available for free under the GPL license, UberWriter costs about 5 USD (or 3.8 EUR) on the Ubuntu Software Center. If you're curious why there's a cost on Ubuntu, check out the project's blog for more info.
Installation Options
If you're using Ubuntu, there's good news! You can install UberWriter for free from the PPA repository provided by its developers on Launchpad. For folks using other Linux distros, you'll need to download the source archive and set it up manually—it's not too tricky if you're comfortable with compiling software! Also available on Arch Linux's AUR repo.
Technical Details
As for how it's built? UberWriter is created entirely using Python and employs the GTK+ GUI toolkit for its graphical interface. It does require a few Python libraries but works well on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
