Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, that feature is planned for future updates.

I've been searching a new, simple word processor for a long time. I HATE MS word. And today, I think I may have found it. It's perfect for simple notes and distraction-free longform writing.

Bravo! 👏 @calmlywriter.com

My new yearʼs resolution in January was to take the idea for a novel I had and actually write it. Always compelled by a looming deadline, I finally finished this week. Whether itʼs any good is, frankly, a question for next year.

A post on Reddit that says: "Thank you. Just found out you have a dedicated subreddit. I just wanted to say thank you. Your writing program has helped 100s of my Swedish as a second language students, and now also the autistic kids I'm teaching at my new job. Keep it up you've truly made something special!"

Writing and Walking Walking is already a choice. Writing will become a choice.

I just published a new essay: »Writing and Walking«

The essay is about the importance of writing – but it also contains a reference to my favourite hiking spot in the world.

So, if you are into walking, writing, and hiking:

AI, LLMs, BS, and vibe coding – Data Visualization with R Use R, ggplot2, and the principles of graphic design to create beautiful and truthful visualizations of data

"LLMs and AI systems ... are bullshit machines. That might sound hyperbolic, but at a technological level, that’s literally what they do. [ ... ] They don’t care whether the text it creates is true—they only care about whether it looks plausible."

Holy moly. I'm trying to write an academic paper, and nearly every application I'm using is not only offering Generative AI as an option for writing, but *pushing it* -- pervading the design to the point where a simple misclick would make my content AI-generated. Here's why that's a problem. 🧵

Yes, maybe some more options should be included 🤔

Hi, we have just released update 2.0.59 which adds a new text width (1200px).

We have just released update 2.0.59 which, we hope, will fix the problem. Let us know if it still happens to you.

Although we have not been able to replicate the bug, it is very likely that this is the reason. Perhaps GDrive is changing the modification date of the file, and that causes CalmlyWriter to reload it.

Thank you, yes, it could be related, we will look into it.

It must be a bug, but we need to get it reproduced. We are going to investigate it. Any information or details will be welcome. Thanks for your help!

Hi, does this happen when you are editing a specific document or in any tab you open?
Could you tell us what is your operating system?
You can write us by direct message/chat if you want.

Did you know that...?
If you select text and type quotation marks or parentheses, the application will wrap the selected text with those characters.
