Why this gets so many upvotes? Just out of curiosity to know what it is (though personally it does not excite me)? It's a bloated site - bold [0], people do not understand what it is [1][2], seems like a Medium clone [3], it does not seem to solve any problems [4]. To add from myself, to block ambient noise I launch my preferred music player with my likeable music, which blocks noise and does not distract me (same with many colleagues of mine), IMHO it's useless feature to have ambient music in you word processor. Also, do we really need another (too) clean, (too) minimalistic, hipster writing/blogging platform, which looks like Medium clone and is probably 'made with <3 in Bay Area/NYC/Seattle/whatever (c)'?
