For writers or those who are dedicated to writing in one way or another (bloggers, journalists, etc.) things were always very changeable, and it is that in the beginning of the PC era the writing applications were very basic, practically like what a typewriter offered and little else, although of course with the undeniable improvements that means being able to save a file, delete something, save again, etc.
But along with the consequent greater power of hardware and software, and then with the arrival of the internet, we have a problem that affects everyone but mainly those who must take advantage of moments of inspiration: distractions. This is how in the end we find ourselves traveling a reverse path towards something so distant and basic, but so necessary at the same time, and that is why today we want to talk about Ghostwriter, an application for GNU / Linux that will allow us to write without distractions.
It is a very complete application with several advanced features such as support for syntax marking or highlighting, for navigation between paragraphs or to offer an automatic autofocus mode in the sentence that we indicate. Of course we also have the typical tools such as spell checking or the word count, without neglecting the support to insert or embed images or the window of HTML previewThese things are essential for any blogger writer or also for a programmer.
For lovers of customization we have the support for using themes and support is also offered to export our work in PDF, ODF or RTF formats, without neglecting the HTML through its Sundown processor (even with the possibility of installing others such as Pandoc, MultiMarkdown, Discount or CommonMark). Finally, if we talk about images we can add them to our documents by simply dragging and dropping to its interface, so as we see we are facing a tool that although it seeks to simplify our task to the maximum offers us a few features.
To install Ghostwriter we can go to your space on GitHub, where we have the possibility to download packages for several GNU / Linux distros and of course, also its source code.
