Zerowriter Fold is a distraction-free writing device with an E Ink display, mechanical keyboard and clamshell design (crowdfunding)

After launching a crowdfunding campaign in 2024, the creator of the Zerowriter Ink began shipping the portable writing device with an E Ink display and mechanical keyboard earlier this year.

One drawback to that model though, was that the screen wasn’t tilted forward, making it hard to see what you’re typing without moving your neck. Now the developer has launched a Kickstarter campaign for a […]

How far will I go to avoid using a proper #WordProcessor, and be able to change names or genders of #story #characters in a zealously #DRY way? #Emacs #Lisp #Orgmode #LaTeX is apparently how far. And I'm having serious thoughts about making it work for #troff descendants as well.

To borrow a lyric from #TMBG, "This could lead to excellence, or serious injury"

AUTEUR is an E Ink typewriter with a mechanical keyboard (crowdfunding)

The AUTEUR is portable typewriter that combines a 6 inch E Ink display with a mechanical keyboard, a battery, and… not much more. It boots in 10 seconds and dumps you directly into a simple word processor. There’s no WiFi or internet connection, and no other apps… at least none that are pre-installed.

While the developer of the AUTEUR is still finalizing some hardware details in […]

MorphOS: Word processing software Stylos 0.113

In October last year, Yannick 'Papiosaur' Buchy began creating his word processing program "Stylos" for MorphOS. In the meantime, a modern, feature-rich word processor for MorphOS has been created that supports both simple text files and formatted documents (RTF) and can export PDFs. Texts, RTFs and images can be dragged directly from the Ambient desktop into the document.

This kit gives the AlphaSmart Neo2 more of a portable typewriter-like design

The AlphaSmart Neo2 is a portable word processor that was released nearly two decades ago as a device that provides a distraction-free writing experience without all the extra stuff that comes with a full-fledged laptop computer. With a small greyscale LCD display, a full-sized keyboard, and compact design, it continues to have fans.

But that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be improved. WriterDeck […]

My all time favorite #wordprocessor, Lotus Word Pro, still runs under Windows 11 ARM :)

The exact same binary runs from Windows 95 onwards.

Like many other software it died because it was bought by IBM, which stopped development in 2007. Actually it stopped development well before 2007, but the last fixpack is from that year.

Word Pro is a child of Ami Pro, the first notable word processor for Windows.
