Back to Minimalismus: "WriteRoom"

"Distraction Free Writing": Ein kleines kostenloses Mac-Tool geht den langen Weg zurück zum Minimalismus und bietet ein schreibmaschinenähnliches Tool zum Schreiben purer Texte, ohne jeden Schnickschnack. Keine Icons, Paletten, Formatierungsoptionen, Flyouts, File Browser, Collapsible Areas oder dergleichen, aber dafür wieder das pure Schreiben in grün auf schwarz. Für Puristen und solche, die es werden wollen.

Von der Web Site des Autoren Jesse Grosjean:

"For Mac users who enjoy the simplicity of a typewriter, but live in the digital world. WriteRoom is a full screen, distraction free, writing environment. Unlike standard word processors that focus on features, WriteRoom is just about you and your text. Requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

A place to sit down and write
Walk into WriteRoom and your busy computer life fades away. The distractions of e-mail, the web, and your thousand desktop icons are gone. Only you and your text remain. This is a place where work gets done and procrastination has no place. When you've finished exit your WriteRoom, and you are back in the busy world with your work in hand.

User-powered software
We deeply trust your instincts and opinions, and so we've developed a user-powered software development process. We invite you, as a user of WriteRoom, to directly participate in its development process, by requesting features, reading other people's requests, and voting on them so we can prioritize our time. We love this feedback; come and join the community, and make WriteRoom even better. If you are a programmer, we'll even give you access to WriteRoom source code."
