MFT: jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj text editor

jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj (that's twenty little letters "J" in a row) is a text editor written by Jan Erik Klouman. The picture you see is not a placeholder image. It is how jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj looks when you start it - before any word is written. The color of the background is decidedly unmitigated drab, but seriously - why not? Literally any kind color of the background is better than default. And there must be a text editor with a drab background. The tone is probably Cosmic Latte, which means you need to turn Also Spracht Zaratustra and start writing down your stream of conscioussness.

Speaking of the ways you can use it. This particular text editor is tailor-made for capturing stream of conscioussness. It creates perfect environment for settling down and starting writing with no distractions or tempting additional features. It is also extremely good for hapless and insufficient transcribing of various audio recordings or songs. Since user interface is so minimal and so engaging - you just won't care to switch, push stop and rewind. It adds pace to the process - you want to capture as much as possible but you still can't keep up and so you start trying to keep by bending the conventions of writing. Which can create some really intense non-sequitir and abstract writing. 

The purpose of jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj creation was, as with any other alternative text editor, to streamline the writing process and cut excessive fat. Because more often than not numerous features, such as making text bold and creating hierarchy of the document on the fly can seriously derail the flow of the writing of the text. As a person whose job is to write - i know that. And it does its job well. jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj is a fine spin on a in-browser barebones notepad concept. Several variations of the editor included: one with header, one with different color of the background and also one with a different kind of font.

jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj is so minimal - the only thing you can do with it is to write something. And nothing else. Because text editor is about writing and editing text and not some other stuff like adding fancy cuties and elaborate formatting. After finishing the piece - you can save it. Huzzah! Not publish it in the middle of nowhere like TXT.FYI or SaidSo.Me but save directly on your computer. Or copy-paste the text and put it elsewhere instead - this is one of those text editors that doesn't really care about anything that doesn't involve the writing itself. Which is inspiring.

There is some bizarre charm in the self-made text processors. Each of them feels different and you want to put a different kind of text there. In the end - it is always incredibly inspiring. Even the very design scheme can drop you some ideas about the text - it can suggest you the form.

Sure, none of them can compete with the big boys (who are all shapes in one way or another by the allmighty Word termplate, which sucks) but who cares. Another option is always a good thing.
