Summary
Apostrophe combines a good Markdown editor with distraction-free writing. Write now and format later is a more efficient way of writing.
We really like the writing experience Apostrophe offers. The software warrants our recommendation.
We initially ran into issues with the package from the Arch User Repository with missing functionality, but these problems seem to have been fixed.
