erittäin hyvä sovellus, pidän siitä. kaikki dovalna, love it
No me dejó escribir una sola palabra porque se quedaba trabada y no podía continuar escribiendo. Escribía algo e inmediatamente borraba lo que había puesto. Muy mal, nunca aplicación me había fallado tan mal en su primer uso.
I've been using it ever since it came out and I have never used any writing app except for hermit after that. I love it. Hermit is my ideal writing app and anything else I hold in standard to this. Just a quick question, I can't seem to access the website now and all my years of writing are saved in this place, I'm terrified that I wont be able to access them now. Is there an ongoing maintenance that I'm not aware of. Please reply for the sake of the others who also cant seem to access the website.
