Mac only? Why not make it a web app? It certainly doesn't need any OS functions (beyond saving files). Also, I think if I really want to focus on writing, I want it to autosave and not bother me with formatting and such. Great idea, but would be usable with some changes.
- jrnkntl 17y agoI agree that it would be better to make this a mutli-OS app or an AIR app for that matter. It actually -does- autosave and if you don't care about the formatting, don't hover over the right side :)
- Kliment 17y agoLovely. Still can't use it on any machine I own though. Also, it didn't help that the video does not mention autosave, but it almost exclusively focused on the right side hover menu. I love the concept though. Might build something like it. My solution to this is using a separate screen for things that need concentration, and a smaller screen for all the potentially distracting things like email and browsing.
- zitterbewegung 17y agoMaybe modify the CSS / look of etherpad so you get a collaborative writeroom?
- pasbesoin 17y agoSomewhere out there someone posted a CSS set for Google Docs (the word processing portion) that achieves a similar effect. Just saw it mentioned; never tried it. In Google Docs, under menu Edit or some such, there is the option to enter custom CSS.
