Hunch forward, focus… and just write

October 5 2010

Information Architects has released a minimalist writing application for Ipad that is interesting in construction and relevant in how we can look over functions and run it by the users that one extra time. Although there are other similar applications both for pc and tablets, this one seems to have an edge. I guess time will tell if it’s a coming classic or if the feel of writing on the ipad shoots it down.

Focus in writer

“The key to good writing is not that magical glass of Bordeaux, the right kind of tobacco or that groovy background music. The key is focus. What you need to write well is a spartan setting that allows you to fully concentrate on your text and nothing but your text. Many professional writers use SimpleText or Textedit because these are the only writing programs that are totally distraction free. But text editors are not perfect. That’s why we made Writer.”
