So I guess, whenever one creates a new distraction free writer/reader, I need to know: why should I use this* app?* Your app looks pretty clean and pretty nice, but what makes it better? I don't mean this comment to put your app down as it looks pretty appealing, but I think the key first step when joining such a saturated market is to differentiate yourself.

- markdown 13y agoI doubt there's any hope of making money off the project, but it's a great piece of work and something he can add to his portfolio. Note the prominent mention of nodejs. That is irrelevant to anyone using the app, so adds to the likelihood he is probably hoping to score a job(s) out of his now proven ability to ship products with node.
- andyhmltn 13y agoThis. It's a good thing to have on your portfolio. I made something similar (totally local however) a few months back.

- droelf 13y agoI have made one for ubuntu, and it's foss: http://uberwriter.wolfvollprecht.de http://uberwriter.wolfvollprecht.de It's more or less an iA Writer clone but uses pandoc as "backend" which is really powerful.
- cthor 13y agoFocusWriter, listed in the parent as a native Mac application, is open source and works on and has compiled binaries for Windows, Mac, and most Linux distros.

- blutack 13y agoI'm a big fan of the open source pyroom[1]. Development has stalled but it's feature complete for me so I don't mind. FocusWriter also looks good, xplatform & open source [2]. 1: http://pyroom.org http://pyroom.org 2: http://gottcode.org/focuswriter http://gottcode.org/focuswriter
