There 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.

Perhaps writing a distraction-free writer now becoming a justified form of procrastination for writers!

It's the new Hello World app that replaces the blog engine :-).

I wish there was a site that listed the most over-done web app and OSS ideas. I'm guessing todo lists apps, distraction free writing apps, css frameworks, weather apps, invoicing apps, etc. would be near the top of the list.

Don't forget blog engines.

It might just be me, but the typewriter sounds are pretty distracting. Also, there is a bit of ironic juxtaposition in an app called "inkpen" that sounds like a typewriter. But it's neat, certainly, I just don't know why I'd use it over one of the native offline apps I already have.

Can anyone recommend a Markdown editor with Markdown code on the left and a preview on the right? OS X or Windows. Doesn't have to be free.

Dillinger. It's open source, so you can also run it locally or on your own server. It's also a web-app, so it's cross-platform, too, of course. http://dillinger.io/

This one is a web-based editor which you can embed wherever you want. It's basically a replacement for WYSIWYGs:

I'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].

It's cool, I like it.

Couple of points, it's a distraction-free writer but I've been quite distracted by a couple of things, somewhat OCD: The Twitter image isn't updated when you update your image on Twitter. It's also cut off at the bottom for me when I view the link.

Also I was curious about the use of 'twimg', from the looks of it this is a service which tracks and sells user data. Care to comment? I have a tracker blocker which seems to take care of it.

Having said all that I love the output and simplicity and I will be using it (provided the uptime is good- it was out earlier, possibly due to HN?).
