Nice!

A question to the creators if they are listening. What is this medium.com you say have inspired you? I followed the link but it asks permission to access to the list of my followers on twitter even before I can have the slightest idea of what it is. I checked the read more thing, but after an empty tagline it starts telling the story of guys I don't know, and I have no time reading their stories.



Hey! Thanks for the kind words. Medium is a neat blogging platform with a focus on good quality content, although it is currently in its early stages and invite only.

The main concept in medium thats inspired me here, is their wysiwyg style editor (https://medium.com/about/df8eac9f4a5e) over markdown... although mine is a tad more minimal, I'd be lying if I didn't say they had a big influence on ZenPen.


Thanks so much for the link, for some reason I couldn't find this link. I don't write write access on Medium; was wondering how their editor worked.

I am working on an open-source app inspired by medium. Hopefully this should be done in a week's time. Here is work in progress: http://i.imgur.com/ZYWRc8k.png

I'll also borrow your/medium's idea of showing the toolbar when text is selected.


I've come to really dislike websites and services that don't tell you what they're about straight away.
