Behind the scenes of Learn Ulysses »
We’re on the home stretch. Learn Ulysses launches in one week from today.
Everything major for the new course is done, but there are quite a few little things and final details left to wrap up. There always is.

Over the past few months as we’ve been working on our new course, Learn Ulysses, I’ve learned a lot about the Ulysses app itself. And most of what I’ve learned has come from seeing how other people use the app.
With that in mind, I thought it’d be fun to record this screencast video showing how I have my Ulysses set up and how I use it on a day-to-day basis.
