ProjectWriter, a writing desk that follows you
A browser-and-terminal writing tool that syncs Markdown projects across machines and lets writers continue in their preferred editor.
- For
- Writers who switch machines or prefer terminal editors
- Worth noticing
- It limits Google Drive access to a project folder and stores documents as ordinary Markdown.
Field notes
ProjectWriter presents writing projects as ordinary Markdown files rather than proprietary documents. Its documented workflow combines a browser editor with a terminal command that opens the project on another machine, including in several established editors. Writers can choose a project-specific Google Drive folder or storage hosted by the service; the page says Drive access is enforced at the folder level. The design also states its limits plainly: one device at a time, overwriting saves, and no collaboration or version history.
