Sorry, it's back.

#4This is actually quite cool. I could see this being a nice replacement of pastebin-type sites when sharing significant amounts of text.
My two suggestions would be:
-Add a few more pre-set color themes, perhaps with font selection too. (Maybe copy some from Textmate and/or Sublime Text 2.)
-Allow other forms of login maybe, perhaps with Google accounts?

#5Can you articulate how this is different / better than writespace?

#6There sure are a lot of these now. There's Koi Writer [1], Dark Copy [2], Light Write [3], Quabel [4], Wabisabi [5], Write.app [6], Pen.io [7], (I like this one), Draft [8], and probably more.

Then there's also native apps as well. For Mac, there's Focus Writer [1], OmmWriter [2], iaWriter [3], Writeroom [4], ByWord [5], Clean Writer [6], Writer [7], GrandView [8], and Texts [9] (I like this one)

[7] https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/writer/id405680527?mt=12 [8] https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/grandview/id432436025?mt=12 [9] http://texts.io
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.

#8The theme-changer/audio/fullscreen options up to the left don't seem to work.
I had a double take when I opened the sidebar. After digging through my bookmarks I found that it reminded me of Scratchpad's (http://scratchpad.io/example) sidebar.
Overall, pretty cool.
