This online text editor provides users with a distraction free experience.
- Full page writing area
- Easily customizable color themes
- Dynamic word counter
The entire page is devoted to the writing space. There is no formatting tool clutter so that writers can focus on jotting down their thoughts without being distracted by fancy formatting tools.
There is a color theme selector at the bottom. There are two input boxes - first one is for the text color, and second one is for the background color. You can either add HTML color codes (eg. #ffffff), or simply type in simple color names (eg. black). The default is the white theme : white text on black background. If you prefer the dark side, type black on the first input box and white and on the second input box and hit Get New Theme button.
The dynamic word counter counts the words typed so far. Writers are encouraged whenever they hit a word limit, such as 5000 words.
The online text editor was inspired by the NaNoWriMo Challenge. This editor aims to provide authors with a distraction free online tool to collect their thoughts into small writing prompts. You can also use it for notes, etc.
There is just one file index.html that consists of all javascript (in <script> tags), CSS (in <style> tags) and basic HTML. No framework is used, the code is kept light and simple.
