#72Earlier quoted context omitted.
So you're one of those people who like to use "utilize." I've always thought the word is used willy-nilly by people with feeble minds in order to "sound fancy," but you seem like an alright guy. Could you tell me why you'd want to use "utilize" instead of "use"? Do you intend a different meaning e.g. make-use-of-in-unexpeded-way, or do you see them as synonyms? To me, it sounds horrible---a buzzword and a French-isis…
So you're one of those people who like to use "utilize." Far from it. Looks like this is the first time I've ever typed it: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=jasonkester+utilize#!/all/forever/... Hemingway is, though. A quick google search shows that he also has written "helpfully" a few times in his novels, which is another forbidden word in the app we're discussing.

#75Some initial feedback: 1 - My first CC was rejected 2 - The spelling hint (the red line) is bad. Just type "Hollowness" and, for me at least, it underlines "Hollownes" and doesn't pick up the last "s" until I move on to the next word (and then some) 3 - Themes / font / spacing and fullscreen would be nice 4 - Tried to save a file: Uncaught node.js Error Error: EACCES, open '/x.txt' (and now I can't go back, and I los…

#76Say I wanted to start writing an e-book, would this be an acceptable editor? Does it output to PDF,.mobi formats? or should I go with something like LaTeX?
FYI, LaTeX is not an editor. Although it does produce good PDF's, given all of the LaTeX-to-HTML things I've seen, I would be sceptical of producing .mobi with it.
Also good to know. Do you have any recommendations of text editors (online or native) that are markdown oriented and support those formats?
