It's a desktop application just for writers.
When you launch the app, you can start writing immediately with no clicks. You never need to leave your keyboard, no matter what you need to do. These were the starting points for this application design. The concept revolves around three directions: simplified writing experience, minimalistic interface, and the ability to control everything with the keyboard only.
P.S. You will see a photo of my sketch on the Surface Pro 4 at the end of this article. I've shared the mockup shot in a high-resolution PSD format, so please feel free to download and use it for your work.
Easy Start
Press the arrow keys on the keyboard to vertically navigate through documents previously created, or press Enter to create a new document immediately. Once the new document starts, as shown in this video, users can also select a default styling for a new line or paragraph.
New Paragraph & Default Styling
Briefly shown in the video above, users can select a default styling between paragraph/normal, heading 1, heading 2, and italic for their new paragraph. Simply press the Tab key to toggle the selection and Enter to commit.
Select Text = Extra Styling
When text is selected (using Shift + Arrow on the keyboard), the app reveals the quick styling box on top of the selected text. Just like the default styling interface, users can press Tab to toggle styles and Enter to commit.
Hidden Nav for Extra Bits
The hidden navigation pops out at the bottom when you press and hold Ctrl. Users can then press numeric keys to select options. Character and word counts are also visible at a glance.
Night Mode
The default setting for the day-and-night mode is 'Auto,' which switches modes based on a dark or bright environment.
Quick Sketch
This is a sketch I did earlier this week for the project. The sketch is done on Bamboo Paper. (I've recently bought a Surface Pro 4 to replace my iPad... Yes, I just had to show off this new baby.)
