Description
You want to write an article. An email. A script. You sit down at your desk and fire up MS Word. One paragraph into your brilliant idea, you become distracted by styling and notes about other recovered documents and spellcheck and everything and lose your train of thought. There goes your idea out the window.

So you give up on MS Word. You go to Evernote, go to fullscreen mode so there's nothing but your text. You start typing, and you have something you want to quickly throw down to come back to later. Well, you're out of luck. You have only a solid block of text, and you're going to have to invent your own way to insert comments and markers to come back to when revising.

This concept is a writing app designed for humans who want to write, who don't have a magical undivided attention, an infinite attention span, and the ability to ignore everything that is in their way. It's an app that lets you write and write and write without anything getting in your way, but also so that you can easily go back and edit and revise your work. If you don't like sitting down and spontaneously spitting out ten thousand words, you can outline, and features like revision history and collaboration are integrated seamlessly without impacting the flow of writing.

Why use Windows 10's UWP design language? It's in the guidelines. It's a language that's focused on minimalism and putting the focus on the content, perfect for a writing app.

What are your thoughts? What would you like to see in a writing application?

DISCLAIMER: not an actual functioning application. This is a mockup made in Photoshop CC.
