Man, best of luck: "simplicity" and "personalization" are in pretty tight tension. Should inspire some interesting solutions!

How am I supposed to pay my internet

I like the app and don’t need any customization options. Downloaded it after an earlier HN discussion I think.

The workflow of typing, then selecting a file name to save at the very end makes me somewhat uncomfortable. What happens if the app or the computer crashes? Will everything be gone?

This stops me from writing for really long sessions in there. Don’t want to type for an hour only to find everything is gone.

you can always install Emäcs and put this at your init.el file;

(menu-bar-mode -1)

(scroll-bar-mode -1)

(tool-bar-mode -1)

pronto, a solid decades old platform that is privacy oriented (whatever that means on text editors); runs flawlessly on Android too, has an easy sync with Syncthing (just add (global-auto-revert-mode) for real-time synchronization) to your computer/server; ALL shortcuts are customizable so you can set Copy/Paste/Cut to whatever is most ergonomic and crazy stuff like accessing your ibuffer with i-search mode for an easy navigation at your files that's keyboard-centric but you can use your mouse with its buttons doing whatever you want/set, just fine; org-mode...

it can even run on a, distraction free, terminal ^-^

I really like your esthetic, and look forward to reading more of your open garage thoughts!

Unpacking your state of mind as you try to be vulnerable in your journaling in your coffee shop mode post - something I deeply relate to. Nice to see this up front this morning. https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/sketch-enso-coffeeshop-mode...
