Congrats on building this! I wonder, have you considered speech recognition as an alternative source for text generation? You could build some powerful voice commands this way, possibly rivaling Vim, TextMate etc.

We will eventually see some growth in demand for text editing on tablets and phones. With some further research and innovation, you may be able to turn this into a tool (possibly commercial) that is useful for a larger audience.



Exactly! That's what I've had my eye on for a while, but most people I've spoken with don't see it this way. I have a good scheme for editing English documents using punctuation and newlines etc. for informing tile boundaries -- and using voice recog. or other (selectable) systems for insertion.

Thanks for the comment -- reassuring to hear someone else envisioning that path.
