Minimalist writing editor with vim mode

BetterWrite offers a beautiful, distraction-free writing environment designed for those who value simplicity and focus. With Vim keybindings, users can enjoy a familiar and efficient editing experience. The editor supports multiple fonts and includes a dark mode for comfortable writing in low-light conditions.

@ronitrajll Really nice focus here. A distraction-free editor with Vim bindings is still surprisingly rare, and offline-first via IndexedDB is a big win for peace of mind while writing.
I like that BetterWrite doesn’t try to over-intellectualise the workflow, fonts, dark mode, keyboard efficiency, and getting out of the way. That’s exactly what most writers actually want.
Curious where you’re taking this next: things like export options (Markdown/PDF), file-based workflows, or sync that still respects the offline-first philosophy could be a great fit.
as a developer, still can't get with the vim mode, but it looks very smooth and convenient for writing. such a simple and minimalist editor is a tool that text creators greatly appreciate. I have a small doubt: why not release it as a locally executable file?
BetterWrite
@joeyzhang haha ... I hope one day you get along with vim mode :)
as for the locally executable file ... I dont think we will do that but instead we will make this a web app so you can install it on your device :)
and ofc thanks for checking it out!!
Wow, BetterWrite looks amazing! The vim mode is exactly what Ive been searching for. How does the font rendering handle ligatures, especially in Fira Code?
BetterWrite
@jaydev13 for now we don't support ligatures but soon we will be working upon that ... thanks for the feedback :)
Congrats on the launch! It’s refreshing to see a writing tool that focuses on clarity instead of piling on features.

@vik_sh thanks :)
and yes!! that's exactly what the aim was
