In particular it's worth people knowing that Word has an "immersive reader" mode for reading and a "focus mode" for writing if blank screen plus cursor is your jam. Method of turning it on varies by word version. If you're on a mac it's view -> focus mode or some four-finger keyboard salute. If you're on windows it's on your ribbon on the view tab and you have the extra option of "line focus" (ie you only see the line you're on) or various sizes of window around the line you're on (under "Learning focus" I think).

This is useful even if you have other preferred tools because you may well find yourself in a work situation where some word usage is forced on you (eg having to review contract redlines or vendor sow drafts or whatever).

That said, I'm all for people having other options, so salute this project.
