If you’re looking for an even less-featured one, feel free to check out my stream of consciousness writing tool: https://enso.sonnet.io https://enso.sonnet.io - Not terminal but browser based though. - Prioritises writing over editing, thinking over second guessing, censoring yourself.

  Wow what an elegant design. I tried the web version from mobile even after all the warnings and it wasn’t bad at all. I’m definitely trying out the desktop versions later.

    I took my iPad and a Bluetooth keyboard to try out Ensō during a hike and it worked fine. That is, until I forgot to switch off my keyboard once, put it in the backpack, and accidentally locked the device for a week!

      I think one can unlock a device locked by too many password guesses by plugging it into a computer that is connected to the same iCloud account, but perhaps that feature has been removed in recent security updates.

        Correct, but I was a bit too far from home to get that done so did the next best thing: https://twitter.com/rafalpast/status/1422166755313659904?s=20 https://twitter.com/rafalpast/status/1422166755313659904?s=2...

  Wow, this is beautiful! Pretty fun to dump text into

    Thanks, it started as a thing I kept on the side of the screen to "think aloud". I've been actually using it regularly for the past 4 years or so, writing 800 words per day on average, drafting articles, etc...

  A text editor and a word processor are different things. There are things you can do very easily in a word processor that are difficult in a text editor, and vice versa. I actually wrote a FAQ about this! https://github.com/taviso/wpunix/wiki/FAQ#q-why-not-just-use https://github.com/taviso/wpunix/wiki/FAQ#q-why-not-just-use (Fwiw, I'm a daily vim user)
