Writing
=======
**Writing** is a lightweight distraction-free text editor, in the browser.
Live version: [Writing](https://josephernest.github.io/writing/).
Installation
----
Just open `index.html` and that's it! There is no server code. Is that so simple? Yes!
Usage
----
* CTRL + D: Toggle display mode
* CTRL + P: Print or export as PDF
* CTRL + S: Save source code as .MD file
and a few other commands (change font, etc.) that can be found in:
* CTRL+SHIFT+H or `?` bottom-left icon: Show help
Why another Markdown editor? Why not just use StackEdit?
----
There are many online editors that support Markdown but:
* half of them don't support LaTeX / MathJax (for math formulas)
* some of them do, but have a **1-sec delay between keypress and display**, and I find this annoying, see e.g. [StackEdit](https://stackedit.io)
* some of them have annoying flickering each time you write new text, once math is present on the page
* most of them are not minimalist / distraction-free enough for me
That's why I decided to make **Writing**:
* open-source
* no server needed, you can run it offline
* fast rendering (no delay when writing / no flickering of math equations)
* **just what you need: write, preview, save the code, print or save as PDF, and nothing else**
* LPWP website, a.k.a. "Landing Page=Working Page", i.e. the first page that you visit on the website is the page *where things actually happen*, that means that there is no annoying welcome page or login page, etc.
