XerXis Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Have you used any of those? WriteRoom and Mariner Write are great apps. writeroom is a textfield with green letters on a black background? Or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannes Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Damn I wanted the DaisyDisk license but I was too late. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted November 10, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 10, 2009 WriteRoom looks like nano but with word wrapping, unless it does something else I'm missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XerXis Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/writeroom so basicaly a textfield with the color you like on a background with the color you like. Take c# express, make new project, set your form to fullscreen without borders, add multiline textfield with anchors so it stays centered, press compile, tadaaa you have writeroom for windows without writing one single line of code. Not saying it's a bad idea, just don't understand why people would ever want to pay 25 dollars for it. But that's just my opinion ofcourse ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Not saying it's a bad idea, just don't understand why people would ever want to pay 25 dollars for it.But that's just my opinion ofcourse ;) Because they're mad. I wanted the program, but I'm not paying $25 for something so basic. But I got it free now so it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's just my opinion ofcourse ;) $25 is probably a little extreme for it, but it is more than just a full screen text field. It has plenty of customization options.

Rudy Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 It would be nice if WriteRoom would allow you to have something like 4 documents open at once on bigger screens (like the new 27" iMac ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWDweller Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 If you go within the next 20 hours or so, they have unlocked Mariner Write so it is now Free as well. If you don't have Office or Openoffice/Neoffice this is a good alternative. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

game_over Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 So what happens when the time is up? they add more software or are they just releasing those 6 bits of software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWDweller Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 When the time is up, that is all they are going to do. Hopefully they will do something like their giving tree they had last year at Christmas, but this might be the 2009 version of that. They will be doing a Macheist 4 next year which will be more full scale and full blown where you solve puzzles and "Earn" your software for free. I got over 30 pieces just from the last year alone in dealing with them. About 14 of those I bought through their bundle they sell for around $30usd which often carries well over $1500 in software for that price.

It should start right about after Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
