You're doing a really great job with this and I hope it encourages people to write from the heart. One thing I'd suggest (if it hasn't already) is adding a padding at the bottom of the pages so that the last comment isn't butting up against the bottom of the browser. I like being able to scroll past the content enough so that it is 100-200px above the page end.

Thanks. I hope so too.

And good feedback. I was meaning to add some padding, but it somehow slipped my mind!

I enjoyed the get-going immediacy - something more apps should do more of.

One thing that threw me off my stride: hitting return in the Article Title field let me make arbitrarily multiline article titles. I expected it would take my cursor to the Article Body. Is this deliberate? How often do people want titles containing linebreaks?

Thanks - I think more apps don't do it partly because they don't prioritize the single thing they want to be amazing at. Throwww only really has one broad-use case... writing shit... so it makes it easier to do this.

Wish I could say it was optional, but I'm not that clever.

I thought most people used "tab" to go to the next field. Didn't occur to me that "enter" was common. Looks like it is for at least one person. Let me do some reading/surveying. I might add that to next version. Thanks again.

It's because interacting with the app felt like interacting with a page in a word processor.

e.g. in Microsoft Word, if you select Heading Style, type heading text and then hit enter, the cursor is moved to a new paragraph (with the style automatically changed to body text or similar).

LibreOffice Writer does the same.
