Warewoolf: A minimalist novel-writing system/rich text editor

This looks a lot like FocusWriter which is much more lightweight and doesn't depend on electron, so it is only about 6 MB instead of 60 MB.

Required: write a novel

Regular person: opens Word

Hacker: hmmm, first thing I need to do is build a suitable plain text editor

vim-pencil and goyo are great options for (n)vim users.

People building software for themselves. I like it, and see even more of it in the future with AI.

It's like looking at Scrivener's baby pictures.

Funny, I’m working on much the same thing, but many times more complicated. It’s not really ready for public consumption yet though.

This looks like a nice and simple method of writing while still retaining chapters.

Reminds me of WriteRoom for MacOS[0] and its Windows-friendly clone JDarkRoom[1]

I am not a writer/novelist by any means, so please forgive my ignorance. Does the act of creative writing tend to lead to mental drift? So much so that minor distractions are so detrimental to the process?

I’ve always wondered if the hollywood stereotype of the reclusive writer typing away on a low tech typewriter is based in reality.

Seeing how minimalistic and bare this editor is, it could’ve been named BareWoolf.

I use Obsidian for this
