I recently stumbled across this superb little word processor, and I'm just blown away by how good it for being made by one dude for free. It's like a slimmed down version of Scrivener or Papyrus, with a wonderfully simple and easy to use interface.

It's open-source, and works on all platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, including phones and tablets). This lady here does an excellent overview of its features.

If you're looking for a nice little app for writing, outlining, or planning something, I'd recommend giving it a look.

I saw this on here and it's a really impressive application but my problem with it is that the saving of the files seems to be in some completely unique format and even though you can export it it doesn't really feel good to have to do that with something where you'd spend a lot of time writing.

I had a really good time over the past day and a half spending time writing in the application and I found it fantastic from that standpoint but I have already lost some of the work I've done because you can only have one open "project" at a time and you have to export it and even though it seems to save it it encourages installing as an application so there's problems here that really do need to be addressed so just kind of be forwarned that you're gonna have to export and save frequently, and it's confusing.
