Still my default application for writing
While not the most feature-rich of the minimalist writing tools, Byword remains the cleanest, fastest, and by far the easiest on the eyes which I’ve used. Byword is for people more interested in writing now and designing later.
Additionally, its developers are refreshingly agenda-free. From what I’ve seen of their web-presence, their communcations are free of political, sexual, or religious (or antireligious) squawking, in any direction. They make a great writing tool and that seems to be all they care about, insofar as their company is concerned.
MacOS Sierra has caused no problems for Byword so far in my experience. For those who’ve had issues with Byword on Sierra, I’m certain the guys at Metaclassy will patch it soon.
Best to all, and happy writing.
