Ulysses’ documentation is incorporated right into the app itself while Mellel forces you to scroll through its user guide (which, to its credit, is well written and accessible). Yet despite lacking a WYSIWYG editor, Ulysses is much easier to use. However, you can’t see the videos or other media content when dragged and dropped in Ulysses. For example, in Mellel if you drag and drop photos into the window they appear and can be edited there. I’m not sure what the hieroglyphs in the top left corner mean, or my general feelings about the user-friendliness of Mellel.
Mellel vs davkawriter for mac#
Mellel actually is probably most similar to Pages for Mac but with less default templates to work from or MS Word for Mac 2011. Both also have features such as easy-to-configure automatic saving, version control, outlining, and are adaptable for languages other than English. Both of these programs let you control and customize aspects of your documents and give you control over your word processing experience in ways that MS Word and Google Docs do not. On today’s edition of Scholarly Smackdown we are looking at Mellel and Ulysses, two word processors for Mac created with novelists, playwrights, and thesis writers in mind.
