Writer.BigHugeLabs.com - The Internet Typewriter

Remember back in the day, when type writers were in vogue? Neither do I, but they do seem like a kitschy throw back to a time when things were simpler. If you’re feeling nostalgic for those luddite days, you’re in luck because the Internet Typewriter, aka Writer, is here ready to take up the old mantle. Writer has that olden days look—none of that wacky 2.0 stuff can be found anywhere near Writer. It’s got a simple black background with bright lime green lettering. To use it, just start typing. Writer will save your work automatically using cookies. Click on ‘new’ to save your current document and start another. There are two keyboard shortcuts, one for saving docs, and one for opening new ones.

For those who like to keep things simple, Writer is just the thing. Its’ perfectly old school. There are no fancy features, it’s not bloated with unnecessary tools. All you have to do is write. It’s that simple.

Why would anyone use this with all the other writing tools out there? How is it going to gain traction?
