Hello Product Hunters,
First of all, thanks to @anandrajaram for hunting it down.
It's a cliché to say it but LightPaper is not just "yet another text+MD editor". It is fast and light and looks gorgeous! We made it with a purpose: to make it easier for you to write your documents and take notes whether you are a developer, a blogger or a student.
It comes with great features such as Shadow Notes (take notes for any app/documents/links), Scratch Notes (quickly take notes from your menu bar), Real Preview (see how your post would look like even before publishing), Folder Navigator + Multi-Tabs (why fire a window for each document?), external JavaScript+CSS integration (makes it easy to extend LightPaper such as adding Mermaid JS library), Full GFM support and plenty more. And top of that you get a customer service that actually listens to you and solve any issues.
I made it 3 years ago for myself, made it available for free and lots of users asked me to continue developing it and they'd pay for it. So we fixed bugs, add some great features, and completely rebranded it recently.
Please enjoy the discount and feel free to ask any questions.
@tribaling Ha! Fair enough. I was caught by surprise and in an awe of getting to the front page of PH, I forgot everything. I'll update the comment. I had a full text prepared for launching it tomorrow but @anandrajaram already discovered it. It's hard to hide great things, isn't it? 🙂
Does this add right-click context menu > Create new txt (a la windows?) . As silly as it sounds, it's literally one of the few things I hate about OSX and would love to have.
@wuss You mean right clicking on the app and creating a new file? If so, no. Being a native Mac app, we like to follow Mac conventions as closely as possible.
@dantolb Thanks Daniel. First of all, LightPaper is made for specifically 1 purpose - taking notes and writing documents. This makes it easy for non-coders to download and use it right away instead of spending hours to get right plugins installed and getting overwhelmed by options that have nothing to do with writing documents.
We also have some great features that come out of the box such as taking Shadow Notes, Real Preview, Smart Drag-and-Drop etc that none of the other editors do. Someone recently did a great review of LightPaper in details if you are interested: http://ipadpedia.net/lightpaper-...
