Hey PH!
It's been 2 years since the first version of Desk was publicly released (and on PH too!) and since then I've been super-humbled by the response. Crazy how time flies...!
When I first released Desk I wasn't sure there was much more room for another native writing and blogging app for the Mac but I was pleasantly surprised by the response!
Since the first release Desk has won "Best App of the Year" awards for 2014 and 2015...! Couldn't be more proud of the community that's come alongside me while putting together this small indie mac app!
Version 3 is completely re-written from the ground-up with a brand-new UI. It's also exclusively now for WordPress. I'm passionately curious about digital publishing and I've been blogging every single day for 15 years... if you have any questions for me I'm avail!
Thanks PH!
---------------------------------
OH! It was just FEATURED in the Mac App Store, world-wide! What an amazing day this is turning out to be...!

@florianmascaro now that i'm focused 100% on WP I can iterate and work on these types of things! For instance, already working on Post Excerpts: https://john.do/desk-v31-post-ex...
I'll put this on the list! Stay tuned!

@8bit I purchased Desk when it was first released and really enjoyed it, mostly the ability to publish to a diverse variety of platforms. I always considered it a pleasing mix between Ulysses and Blogo.
Honestly, I understand the decision to focus on catering specifically towards WordPress since it is the dominant platform, but disagree with that decision nonetheless. Maybe I'm the outlier here, but I don't use WordPress and generally dislike the platform.
Is there still an ability to publish to other platforms - such as Evernote, Medium, etc...? But just that the focus of development and features will be on WordPress? Or has the ability to publish to those platforms been removed completely?
