writer_

A terminal-like, minimalish, customizable writing app with local storage and cloud sync. Deployed at https://writer-kl2.pages.dev/

What it does

• Lets you write
• Saves automatically to IndexedDB.
• Syncs across devices (including mobile) via Google Drive.
• Each synced doc also shows up as an editable Google Doc, so you can edit there too.
• Works offline. Keeps writing, syncs when you're back online.
• Lets you comment out text! (%%comment%% by default)
• Allows for Outlining (# TITLE HEADING by default)
• Folders, version history, split-pane editing, import/export (.txt, .md, .docx).
• Customizable themes. Any colors in any combination for now. I'll add fonts at some point.
• 
• Keypress sounds! These are all generated through stupid sine wave tricks. They are not accurate but they are fun :)
  • 

Running locally

Currently this deploys to the live copy at writer-kl2.pages.dev. You probably want to deploy somewhere else. If you want to use Cloudflare, do

npx wrangler pages dev public

npm run deploy

Why?

Wordperfect was the last perfect editor. This is an homage to what it could look like today. Inspired by writer.bighugelabs.com, which is amazing but lacked the offline features I wanted.

The whole thing is one HTML file because I don't like to load a million tabs.
