Quabel is a pet project of two friends of mine and myself, and we are proud to finally present it to HN after a long time of working on it.

Basically, we want to make focussed writing more easy. Quabel is an online editor which uses writing goals very prominently. This allows the writer to stay on track and measure performance with all the benefits of using a web service.

Full list of features:

- Automatically save your texts so you don't lose anything

- Create goals and measure your writing performance

- Nightmode for when it gets dark outside

- Markdown formatting

- Drag and Drop your .docx files onto Quabel to import and edit them in Markdown instantly

- Export to PDF/ODT/Latex/Markdown

- Easily publish your writings and share them with others

- (optional) typewriter sound when you hit a key

- (optional) fireworks when you reach your goal

Please tell us your feedback, we value your opinion very much! Thanks!

Our future roadmap includes offline editing, revisioning (hard topic!) and collaboration between multiple writers.

I tried this once and really liked it to the point where I considered replacing Google Docs with it.

Only to find the freemium usage-terms way too limited. You want me to pay to have more than 5 free-text documents stored each, probably occupying in total less than 10kb?

Seriously?

Edit: Seemingly the limit is 15 documents now. That's still a no-go.

Thanks for your comment.

How to limit the free user was a though decision for us. You can increase your document space without buying premium: for every user you invite both you and your referral get 5 additional docs. Also, a free user can download and store his docs locally and enjoy Quabel for free for an infinite time.

https://quabel.com/subscribe/hobbyist/ doesn't work for me. "You cannot access this page"

You're probably using Quabel as a dummy user. Please sign up for a regular account first and then try again. We'll work on that error message ;-).
