Today, I’m launching Textual Writer—a browser-based markdown editor that complements the Textual blogging platform. As an indie developer, I’ve always been passionate about creating tools that simplify the writing process. Textual Writer is the latest step in that journey.
Textual Writer is designed for those times when you just want to write without distractions. It’s a lightweight, browser-based editor that focuses on the essentials of writing. It’s free to use and requires no sign-up, allowing you to start writing immediately.
Here’s what it offers:
- Clean, minimal interface: No cluttered toolbars or complex settings to navigate.
- Autosave as you type: Your work is continuously saved, so you never have to worry about losing progress.
- Easy export: Download your work as Markdown.
- Markdown support: Write in markdown and see a live preview of your formatted text.
The goal is straightforward: provide a space for writing without unnecessary features or technical complexity. It’s not meant to replace your main writing tools, but to be there when you need a quick, accessible place for your thoughts.
Whether you’re drafting a blog post, jotting down ideas, or working on a longer piece, Textual Writer gives you a distraction-free environment to focus on your words.
You can start using Textual Writer immediately at textual.blog/write. There’s no need to create an account or go through a setup process. Just open the link and start writing.
While Textual Writer is designed to be simple, I have plans to enhance its functionality without compromising its core simplicity. In the future, I plan to add direct publishing to Textual blogs, creating a seamless writing-to-publishing experience. For now, I’m focusing on refining the core writing experience based on user feedback.
As with all my projects, your input is crucial. If you have suggestions for improvements or features that would make Textual Writer more useful, please let me know. Your feedback helps shape the future of this tool and ensures it continues to meet the needs of writers.
