What about some of the other distraction free editors, like [FocusWriter}(https://gottcode.org/focuswriter/) and Ghost Writer
Your project looks very interesting. I would like to understand how it differs from the other "distraction free" applications that are out there. (Granted, you are saying "minimal" instead of "distraction free".)
Essentially, it's a digital typewriter (or as close as I can make it).
That means a few things, but the biggest ones are:
Ahh, I missed the concept that you were simulating the experience of using a typewriter.
How far are you planning to take the concept? Are you going to make people manually set up margins, tab stops, headers, footers, etc?
Nothing that complex with tab stops, etc... At least not yet. The caret is tied to a margin/ruler up top that will allow people to slide the paper back and forth to set both the left margin, and at the same time, when on the right, the "ding" occurs. And that's about the only option in that regard.
