Uberwriter

About

Uberwriter is a GTK+ based distraction free Markdown editor, mainly developed by Wolf Vollprecht. It uses pandoc as backend for markdown parsing and offers a very clean and sleek user interface.

Contributions and localization

If you want to help to localize the project, just join us at Poeditor Any help is appreciated!

Running and building it

To use uberwriter, please make sure you have some dependencies installed:

Pandoc, the program used to convert Markdown to basically anything else (the package name should be pandoc in most distributions)
Of course, gtk3 etc. needs to be installed as well since this is a gtk application
Please find these packages on your distribution: python3 python3-regex python3-setuptools python3-levenshtein python3-enchant python3-gi python3-cairo
Optional dependencies are texlive for the pdftex module and gnome-web-photo for the inline web previews

You can run UberWriter with ./bin/uberwriter without installing it in the system, but you'll need to install and compile the schemas before: sudo cp data/de.wolfvollprecht.UberWriter.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/de.wolfvollprecht.UberWriter.gschema.xml sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

It's also possible to build, run and debug a flatpak package. You'll need flatpak-builder for this:

cd to the flatpak dir of the repo
flatpak-builder --install --force-clean some_folder_name uberwriter.json (this installs and cleans the build folder)
flatpak run de.wolfvollprecht.UberWriter

If you can't find Uberwriter after this, it's due to a Flatpak bug. Try to export it to a local repo before installing it:

cd flatpak
flatpak-builder --repo=org.foo.Uberwriter --force-clean build uberwriter.json
flatpak remote-add --no-gpg-verify user org.foo.Uberwriter
flatpak install foo de.wolfvollprecht.UberWriter

Where org.foo.repo is the name of your repo, you can change 'foo' with the name you want Then you can run it as before or from your system launcher.

If you want to update an existing installation, just run

flatpak update de.wolfvollprecht.UberWriter

You can also debug it with the following: flatpak-builder --run --share=network some_folder_name uberwriter.json sh

If you want to install it using setuptools, simply run python3 setup.py build install
