A while back, I finally subscribed to Ulysses not because I wanted another Markdown-flavored writing app, but because it seems to be the best app from which to post to WordPress from an iPad.

I don’t generally post to Uncorrected from Ulysses on the Mac; that’s reserved for MarsEdit. I do tend to start posts in Ulysses, though, so posting directly from the app would often be the shortest path. (The exception on the Mac is photo handling; I really like how MarsEdit supports this via its upload utility, which works nicely together with Yoink’s ability to convert photos dragged out of it into PNG or JPEG formats. Dragging out of Photos to the Desktop will produce a similar result.)

Anyway, I got to wondering if there’s a way, besides my manually filing sheets into a “Posted” group, to know if I had posted a sheet to my site. And then I noticed the nice little paper plane icon next to a sheet I’d posted in Ulysses’ list view. Nicely done.
