ruidlopes··on How One Missing `var` Ruined our Launch
(Shameless plug, but interesting enough, imho). This is why I created scopeleaks: https://github.com/ruidlopes/scopeleaks

Thanks for you comment and suggestions!

Regarding key bindings, I'm planning on adding some soon, so that it can be fully interacted via keyboard (not sure if I'll use vim bindings exclusively — non-geeks don't know about vim).

On pandoc integration, it's complicated, since the server-side is implemented in node.js. Anyway, my To-Do has an item on supporting markdown :)

Finally, this won't be commercialized. As long as I have few-to-none costs supporting the hosting, it'll be free forever (i.e., why the heck people have to pay for these kind of editors?)

Thanks for the feedback!

Indeed, the chosen design is a compromise between simplicity and practicality (I just couldn't imagine having a file/document browser taking up much space). Nevertheless, I'm thinking on having 0-9 shortcut keys to select documents.

Regarding dimming the word/char count, you're right. Will be fixed on the next iteration!

When in fullscreen mode, the focus is automatically set on the textarea element. You should be able to enter text immediately.

To leave fullscreen mode, you press the same shortcut key that enables fullscreen.

Small update

HTML5 manifest is now activated, feel free to use it offline :)

As it's been said, it's exactly the point. The current keyboard mappings are required to trigger fullscreen, while (non-alpha & non-beta) browsers don't implement a fullscreen API.

Thanks, that's exactly the point: not to replace every tool/editor, but to be the best/simplest for a limited set of tasks :)

Thanks for the feedback! Some answers:

* mouse-clickable button: APIs for handling the fullscreen state of browsers are still nascent (Chrome 15 and Firefox 9-ish?), so it's a matter of months until adding it;

* Chrome Web store: already on the to-do (plus 100% offline usage via HTML5 manifest).

Cheers.

ruidlopes··on Beyond Usability - User Experience
Thanks for the heads-up. Yap, I'll probably discuss some issues/ideas on accessibility metrics (beyond WCAG's A/AA/AAA).
