Quabel is a pet project of two friends of mine and myself, and we are proud to finally present it to HN after a long time of working on it.
Basically, we want to make focussed writing more easy. Quabel is an online editor which uses writing goals very prominently. This allows the writer to stay on track and measure performance with all the benefits of using a web service.
Full list of features:
- Automatically save your texts so you don't lose anything
- Create goals and measure your writing performance
- Nightmode for when it gets dark outside
- Markdown formatting
- Drag and Drop your .docx files onto Quabel to import and edit them in Markdown instantly
- Export to PDF/ODT/Latex/Markdown
- Easily publish your writings and share them with others
- (optional) typewriter sound when you hit a key
- (optional) fireworks when you reach your goal
Please tell us your feedback, we value your opinion very much! Thanks!
Our future roadmap includes offline editing, revisioning (hard topic!) and collaboration between multiple writers.
- unwind 14y agoI love the self-irony of being "distraction-free", but having fscking fireworks! (Note: I do "get it", gamification/rewards work, but it still strikes me as funny.)
- bflesch 14y agoNice that you noticed. To be honest, it seemed a bit weird for me as well as I was typing out the text above :-) The funny thing is, my cofounders hated the fireworks idea, but then some blog post said very positive things about it and so we kept it.
