Ulysses is still actively developed. We're currently working on lots of improvements and new features (some of them already mentioned on this board, others will be a surprise) so you can rest assured Ulysses is not abandonware and won't become abandonware in the next years.
Yeah that is good to hear. Writing a large project takes alot of time and effort, one gets dependent on the software one uses for that purpose. One needs to see that it is alive and beeing keept alive. Its psycological..:) I dont think ever James Joyce said, wtf, this doesent have twitter integration? when writing Finnegans wake, but still..it is somewhat nice to see what one are putting its words and work on is breathing, slowly pulsing of comfort and joy..and safety..:) Not that it should grow into a jungel-like something that lives for and by itself, ending up eating itself and all that is in it..just a nice little breath of life..
