Desktop Blogging / Publishing App

I've spent the last 13 years as a blogger wishing that someone had created a desktop publishing app / client that was minimal and super-focused on what matters most: Writing.

As a software developer I eventually realized that I would probably have to create this myself. After 350 days of coding I released it last week:

I'd love your thoughts on it folks!

A few quick thoughts:

1. How is this different than iA Writer?

2. How about a trial for new users? That ways people know what they're going to pay for.

3. Why not also create an online version like hemingwayapp?

Try posting as a Show HN. For some reason it's showing under Ask HN.

Congratulations on shipping and wish you all the best!

Nice looking site. I dunno what else to say, since I can't spend $29.99 to see how good Desk is.
