Agreed - nothing more annoying than a product that wants my credentials before I can even try it out, see a screenshot, or anything else that might make me want it. le sigh

noted, will surely add some screenshots!

add an guest account, something we can experiment with? :)

it's sweet for chromebooks...

To be honest I never really understood this need for minimalistic text editors. I can understand if all you know is MS Word, but when I need distraction free editing, I just launch Vim, open a file in my dropbox, and switch to full screen, done. No need for 10,000 projects like this (FocusWriter, WriteMonkey, WriteRoom, and whatever else).

(and as everyone else already mentioned, don't start by asking people their email).

I second this. Plus, I ssh into my own server, tmux att and launch vim there. It is available wherever with Internet connection for me.

I found my favourite writing environment (IWE?) to be Vim + Goyo [1] + line-wrapping with j/k keys mapped to gj/gk [2]

A couple of questions: 1. Was it a conscious choice to only offer up monospaced fonts? 2. I can't find a way to close the "cabinet" after I open it to access my list of notes: is this a bug, or am I missing something obvious? 3. Any change you have the source code up somewhere? Thanks btw, looks nice!

1. yes, monospaced fonts reminds me ones on typewriters. 2. just press the same button that opens cabinet. 3. in public repo - no (

Are the mono font's hard-coded? i.e. font-family: "custom font" vs. font-family: "monospace"
