Someone please make me understand why this end up on first page on HN. I saw similar apps many times earlier here. What's the big deal? Why not regular editor in some 'guru' distraction free mode?
For instance Sublime Text can do that (including autosave and quick startup).
- keithpeter 14y agoI personally found this interesting because the app looks fun, it makes sounds, and it demonstrates some aspects of modern JavaScript that I have got out of date on. I could put the app up on a projector in class and students would find it amusing. Yes, I shall continue to use Gedit for writing Web page text, which I can then run through markdown.
