Zen Mode as A Text Editor?

[tajhans]

I think it would be cool (maybe not practical) to have the zen mode, or a similar version, to be used as a text editor. Like users could write essays and stuff. Maybe even to code? Maybe it just me but I could definitely see me using Monkeytype to write school essays and stuff. Any other ideas to add on?

The customization could be one of its main selling points. For example instead of a timer there would be a word count (important for essays) and of course people could change this for paragraph count, characters, etc. Also different ways to export like pdfs, word, and whatnot.

The documents would be connected to the account, meaning that we would have to store that data somewhere, so more money for servers. It's not practical but it could be a cool idea to come back to.

I'm pretty sure implementing an entire text editor like Google Docs wouldn't be viable but I could see a few features being put into Monkeytype but I think the most realistic thing any of the devs would do is saving the data in Zen mode

As kevin mentioned, making a text editor doesn't seem viable, maybe not for now - it's pretty much a whole new project (Monkeyedit 👀). Currently there are other more important features to add.

Here's a poorly hacked together version I made a few weeks ago:

• source
• live site

(trust me, I've made some better things, like this prototype , and this):
