    Essay

    Essay

    Essay

    Editing tools today tell you what's wrong and what to write, but they don't tell you why it's wrong or how to write better in the first place. Auto-correct, auto-suggestion, and grammar correction tools are useful, but they hinder our ability to think, and fall short of turning us into powerful communicators. Essay helps you move beyond the fear of the blank page so you can finally put your ideas down on paper. Then, it helps you move them around and change them, word by word, sentence by sentence, and paragraph by paragraph, rejecting what doesn't work and keeping what's great. In the end, what you're left with is your incredible ideas, powerfully written. Before you begin writing, form a foundation. This will ultimately guide your work and bring you back to focus each time you start to stray.

    Craft is a rich text editor that is easy and frictionless to use. It also supports markdown, code blocks, images, videos, and attaching PDF files or rich link previews.

You can also drag and drop the input field on both Mac (from the sidebar) and iOS (from the bottom bar) in order to drop content at a specific location. If you are using a keyboard, you can also just press space when a block is focused to insert a new block below. You can also add Code, Math Formula (TeX), and plaintext snippets. To do so, you can use the same methods as you would do when adding images. Craft allows you to style your content in a beautiful and simple way. We've created a set of styles that won’t overwhelm, but by combining these, you can still perfectly express yourself - and all of these work great both in dark or in light mode.
