Pomera DM250 distraction-free digital typewriter coming to the US Feb 18 for $499 (or less)
The Pomera DM250 is a portable digital typewriter that combines a keyboard large enough for touch-typing with a 7 inch transflective black and white LCD display. Designed primarily for use as a distraction-free writing tool, it’s basically a portable word processor rather than a full-fledged laptop computer.
First launched in Japan in 2022, folks in other parts of the world have been […]

Jim “muppets” Henson was contracted by #IBM to make a film extolling the virtues of their new technology, the MT/ST, a #wordprocessor. The film would explore how the MT/ST would help control the massive amount of documents generated by a typical business office. #Paperwork Explosion, produced in October 1967, a #montage of images and words illustrating the intensity and pace of modern business. Henson collaborated with Raymond Scott on the electronic sound track.
@jsparber It would be great if someone built a very simple GTK4-based word processor on top of libreofficekit. A simple app that can display any LibreOffice document and has basic text-editing features. Together with a minimal clutter-free UI would be great. I'd use it everyday.
LibreOffice would still be for the heavy stuff.

You know what would be cool? A modernized word processor that uses an e-ink display, stores files on a USB-C drive, with magsafe charging, and a battery. It’d be a great option for privacy-minded people that want the retro experience, but with modern sensibility. Write their great American novel in a distraction free experience, and no internet access. Print it from itself when they're done - for a fraction of the cost of a Mac or PC
LibreOffice Writer keeps crashing on me. I go to cut a section of my story and move it to another spot and it crashes. Using keyboard commands or the options menu cut/copy/paste causes it to stop working. Very weird. #writing #wordprocessor #LibreOffice
Potentially weird question. Are there any ad-free, freeware* that works on android, that's basically just Notepad? I don't want anything fancier than a plain Notepad but it's really hard to find because of the noise to content ratio. Thank you.
*Happy to pay for once only fee too, I don't sub anything though

Zerowriter Ink is a $199 E Ink word processor (crowdfunding)
The Zerowriter Ink is a portable device with an E Ink display that’s meant to offer a distraction-free writing experience from anywhere. But it’s not an ePaper tablet like the reMarkable Paper Pro. Instead, it’s a portable word processor or typewriter with a 5 inch screen positioned above a mechanical keyboard.
First unveiled in July, the Zerowriter Ink is now available for pre-order for […]
