I understand block support will come, but in the meantime, I am quite happy since I always need to tweak a post after it arrives in WordPress and converting to the Gutenberg editor is easy. For the moment, though, the greater organisation and authoring facilities in Ulysses makes this the better choice for Macfilos.Īt the moment, also, Ulysses doesn’t create block-edit posts in Gutenberg, the new editor built into WordPress 5.0. MarsEdit does include the feature and I hope that Ulysses will be incorporating it into the next update. Unfortunately, Ulysses currently lacks the ability to change the post author at the development stage - this has to be done manually in WordPress before publishing. Usually, there are little tweaks I do need to perform on the draft, but nothing serious. MarsEdit is an old favourite, but I have been impressed with the way in which I can use Ulysses for everything - from initial writing to adding pictures and then sending to WordPress as a draft.

WordPress, on the other hand, has several ways of offline post preparation. Sometimes one picture could take up to a minute to upload, with the constant danger of a service interruption which could result in the loss of valuable work. Even though I would prepare the text in advance in a plain-text editor, I still had to upload photographs one by one. Squarespace post creation has to be done live, online. One of the main motivators for the recent change from Squarespace to WordPress is the ability to compose offline.
