#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
Will surely look into this feature. Answering your question of "I wonder how much actual writing these writing app devs actually do?". I am not sure about other developers but I love to write and I write about 1000 words everyday. From my point of view this is the tool I would love to have found earlier. This was the need for me to build this tool in the first place. I really appreciate you sharing your opinion will…
There's money in this space. I've spent maybe $30 just looking for the right app, only to come up empty.
Sure, I agree with you, I too have spend a few dollars here and there trying to find the perfect writing utility.

It looks like your tool but the text formatting is Medium-like and you can share it really easily and anonymously by clicking on publish.

#28I like the UI. Couple of ideas to think about: * remove save/restore and save on every keystroke * create new URL for each new document, restore when visited * save content in localStorage only, if it's not meant for sharing
LocalStorage is a very small space(can't recall the numbers right now) I've come to learn. And it varies between browsers.

#29What are the privacy policies of websites like these? I use a word counter website when writing responses that are supposed to be a certain length and have wondered about the business model. I only ever paste in text that isn’t confidential since I don’t really know.
I see this site has a word counter, so if it has a good privacy policy I’d be inclined to use it instead!

#30I've tried perhaps a dozen of these writing tools, as I'm looking for one for my Android tablet. I've yet to find one where I can write more than a page worth of stuff without being forced to crane my neck to stare at the very bottom of the tablet for the entire rest of the time I'm writing. Sublime allows me to scroll past the end, and I didn't realize just how important that feature is until I had to trudge through…
