We should chat (check bio)! For almost a decade now I’ve been working on a writing tool that might benefit from it. I build occasional forks with procgen on top it. That being said better bidi handling is something I’m most interested in.

Enso.sonnet.io - what I’m talking about.

(On untested.sonnet.io you’ll find notes about the experiments / toys related)

Ok the custom rich text latex editor is really cool. But I'm on a tablet and stuff like selecting text is a bit awkward (the up down auto scroll is not exactly the same as the native one and isn't as precise as the native one).

But still this is an awesome project!

Cool idea! I approve of the privacy oriented design. But it looks like you didn’t actually test this on iOS as automatic text correction is completely broken.

Also your website appears to have been written and generated entirely with an LLM. That doesn’t inspire trust.

There’s no better way to get a lot of testers than to have a Show HN.

I’ll confirm - there are cursor bugs on iOS. Both on newlines and autocorrect.

I’m personally more forgiving of an LLM “helped” site, if it looks like there was a human in the loop for the process. An LLM has more context about the design goals and architecture than the reader, so if it’s an informative page, I’m not personally bothered.

But I’m probably in the minority.
