A distraction-free environment for blogging; inspired by Habari, OmmWriter, WriteRoom, and the countless wasted hours I’ve spent staring at blank screens.
If you’re a fan of <a href="http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/writeroom" rel="nofollow ugc">WriteRoom</a>, <a href="http://www.ommwriter.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">OmmWriter</a>, or similar tools that help you focus on your words instead of the tools you’re using, this plugin will soon make your wildest dreams come true (and give you a simple clean environment to write to your heart’s content)!
While Zen does not replace the existing Edit Post/Page screen, it provides a layer on top that allows you to focus on your writing. You get an input box for the title a regular ol’ textbox to add your post (feel free to use HTML).
NOTE: Zen requires PHP 5+. Not on PHP 5 yet? Talk to your hosting provider and get them to upgrade! You can thank me later.
If you’re a designer (or even just a regular Jane or Joe) and have any ideas for themes, please <a href="mailto:batmoo@gmail.com" rel="nofollow ugc">get in touch</a>! I’d love to add it to Zen!
If you have any ideas for Zen or features you’d like to see included, please <a href="mailto:batmoo@gmail.com" rel="nofollow ugc">get in touch</a>!
Zen was inspired by <a href="http://ifranky.com/2010/01/wordpress-vs-bloat/" rel="nofollow ugc">this post on Habari</a> by <a href="http://ifranky.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">ifranky</a>.
Special thanks to <a href="http://andrewspittle.net" rel="nofollow ugc">Andrew Spittle</a> for helping me out the with theme designs.
