[ESC]Feeling oppressed by "Big Word Processor"?
Nope? Well, you may still like this one, straight from 1998...!
Why make a Word Processor?
- At work, a lot of people do two things:
- search the web
- write things
- For many; this means using Google and Microsoft products
- But both those products have been ruined over time
So, it was time to make a word processor from the "hey day" of word processors. 1998! Before they all turned into garbage.
What makes Writer 98 special?
- It has buttons you'll use
- It's fast and works anywhere (yeah, even on that small screen in your pocket)
- No proprietary files! No files at all :) (you'll get use to it)
- Everything saved locally to your browser. Save (and load) different entries by adding a query string to the website. Example: https://writer-98.com?d=myfile-name
- The code is yours. Do what you like with it. GPL 3.0.

This feels like some other better product I saw 5 years ago:
Probably. But this is different. For just one reason...
- It's one static file
- It doesn't need a build system
- It doesn't need compiling
- Just give it a URL (like localhost) and you're good
Disclaimer:
This one has been a little tougher to pull together than the other projects I've shared recently. So feel free to play with it but treat this as an early preview for now. Bad stuff might (will) happen.
