This is my first ever endeavor into some sort of programming.

I use evernote or textedit to write a lot posts or guest post and there's not always a quick way to check word count before I send them off. In addition, a lot of wordcount sites out there were ugly, hard to use or filled with ads.

I know it fills a really, really small niche need, but I was pretty happy I could put it together in a few hours, solve a small problem and learn something about programming at the same time.

Now, to move on to bigger projects!
