What do you use to write? (content, copy, social posts, creative writing, documentation, etc.)

by•

I've used Google Docs forever for most writing. Notion for business brainstorming, strategy, project management. Using ButterDocs now for all my writing and genuinely love it. I'd love to learn what writing softwares you enjoy using, and what you enjoy most and least about them. Full disclosure: I joined ButterDocs and we're launching here on Product Hunt on Wednesday 2/21. https://www.producthunt.com/products/butterdocs

For most of my writing tasks, from content to copy, I rely on Notion for its organizational capabilities and Google Docs for real-time collaboration, Rob. When it comes to creative writing, a distraction-free app like IA Writer helps to keep the flow going.

@cen_xu hope you give ButterDocs a try! It combines organizational capabilities with collaboration (and has a great distraction-free Focus mode)

I'm a fan of minimalist text editors for focused writing sessions, Rob, and I use tools like Grammarly to refine my content before it goes live. For organization and planning, nothing beats a good old-fashioned notebook to jot down ideas as they come.

@jamin_nanthan I think ButterDocs does a solid job of a minimalist presentation combined with robust organization, planning, and collaboration features.

Notion always Notion. Will check your tools as well.

I use a mix of tools depending on the task. For content and creative writing, I lean towards Google Docs or Scrivener. When crafting copy and social posts, I often turn to Grammarly for polish. For documentation, especially collaborative projects, tools like Notion or Confluence work well. What about you? Any favorite writing tools in your toolkit? ✍️🛠️

As a screenwriter, I'm writing my scripts in Arc Studio and now loving ButterDocs for everything else. Excited for others to try ButterDocs as we launch on Wednesday! To be specific, I tend to be a disorganized writer with a million notes spread out over multiple apps. Love that in ButterDocs I can have my notes and outline side-by-side with my document.

I used to write in Medium because i loved the UI. But recently i've been doing a lot of writing in Notion because i can organise all my thoughts in a structured way.

@jotam_dveer ButterDocs has some great organizational tools! Would love to hear your thoughts on them.

I utilize various tools and platforms to write content, copy, social media posts, creative pieces, and documentation. As a dentist, my writing may include patient education materials, treatment plans, case studies, and articles related to oral health and dental care, ensuring clarity and accuracy in communication.
