If you're looking for a more full-featured terminal word processor, you could take a look at wpunix! https://github.com/taviso/wpunix


If you’re looking for an even less-featured one, feel free to check out my stream of consciousness writing tool: https://enso.sonnet.io

- Not terminal but browser based though.

- Prioritises writing over editing, thinking over second guessing, censoring yourself.


Wow what an elegant design. I tried the web version from mobile even after all the warnings and it wasn’t bad at all. I’m definitely trying out the desktop versions later.


I took my iPad and a Bluetooth keyboard to try out Ensō during a hike and it worked fine. That is, until I forgot to switch off my keyboard once, put it in the backpack, and accidentally locked the device for a week!


I think one can unlock a device locked by too many password guesses by plugging it into a computer that is connected to the same iCloud account, but perhaps that feature has been removed in recent security updates.


Correct, but I was a bit too far from home to get that done so did the next best thing:

Wow, this is beautiful! Pretty fun to dump text into


Thanks, it started as a thing I kept on the side of the screen to "think aloud". I've been actually using it regularly for the past 4 years or so, writing 800 words per day on average, drafting articles, etc...


how to install this and word grinder ? also how is this better than vi or neovim or emacs-client?


A text editor and a word processor are different things. There are things you can do very easily in a word processor that are difficult in a text editor, and vice versa. I actually wrote a FAQ about this!

(Fwiw, I'm a daily vim user)
