Thinks that, from my point of view, can create an even better experience.

* 1.5 space between paragraphs.

* Backspace sound.

* New line sound.

* Space sound.

* 80 character wide.

* Slightly different sound per key (or row of keys).

* Easy to remember domain.

Then things that I am not so sure, but as long as don't change the interface, could be cool.

* Ctrl-C copy all the text without the need of selecting text. (Probably require flash).

* Ctrl-Shift-C the same but copy the result of markdown the current text (so html is actually copied).

* Selecting text automatically copy the selection to the clipboard.

Things that I will like to play with but don't sure if they are usefull.

* Page simulation. 80 char + margin in white, with proper paper texture, and back background.

* Go for fullscreen on load (if possible), and fallback to show a small, only onmousemove fullscreen icon.

On any case. Really. I really like it. Love to be able to have a webdav (basic auth) interface and could install on my own server. So i can add files just by changing the url, and access that files later through ssh.

I like to think that most "Show HN" posts make it to the front page, but I realise that's probably not true.

"I made this" is always welcome here.

Yes, I shall continue to use Gedit for writing Web page text, which I can then run through markdown.

Sound effects are always going to be a polarizing feature (some like it, some hate it), and the comments on this post prove that. You should provide an easy way to turn sound effects off.

That aside, great job with this. I am a big fan of beauty through simplicity.

Where are you going with this? Just plain and simple for actual 'stream of consciousness' writing or the full skeuomorphic invocation of the manual typewriter, like

did for the card punch? Either is fine by me!

Enjoyed the keypress noise.

Expected word wrap and "ka-ching" sound.

Love the minimal interface.

Markdown support would be really cool.

A real carriage return

The little bell is harder because you tend to type a couple of characters during its decay

Freesound has plenty of typewriter samples.

Reading the comments I see I missed some things but that's a pretty clear failure of UI design.

So I went back. Still can't see any features other than display what I type.

So I try again, this time on Chrome. Now I hear very annoying audio as I type, and no hint of any other features.

How the hell does this POC make it to the front page of Hacker News?

Some end of line bell sounds here.

I liked the application - totally minimal! I'm out of date on Javascript, local storage data I assume ends up in the browser cache?

localStorage.setItem("theKeyToSaveItAs", "theValue");

OP is saving via localStorage every 2 seconds:

setInterval(function() {

    localStorage.setItem("text", textarea.value);

Could it be because it's saving to local storage after every keyup?

I made it save every 2 seconds with setInterval() and it feels a little smoother.

1. No sound. It's distracting. 2. Support of markdown?

Would be cool to be able to store things in a more secure feeling way than local storage.

Also, the already made comments about ka-ching and word wrap.

I would love to write emails in such editor!

I would like to be able to Write different notes tho. Apart from that, pretty neat concept.

And the design is beautiful.

sound on keypress, really?

save on keypress, really?

Absolutely love it.
