Of all the software I have written, this may be the one that has been most useful to me personally. If you find it useful as well, I'd love to know.

I use Vim + https://github.com/junegunn/goyo.vim.

    Goyo is wonderful, it's nice to have all your vim config intact.

    My only confusion is having to :q twice to exit vim :D

Thank you for sharing this, it's a beautiful writing experience. And so easy to install, it was straightforward to make it available on a Tilde server for others to try.

(one suggestion for the docs: the included man page can be installed systemwide, with "sudo cp fri.1 /usr/share/man/man1/" on Debian systems)

Edit: having Hemingway/typewriter mode (disable backspace) available as a shell flag would be wonderful :)

    Hemingway mode is a good idea!

    As for the man page, I don't want to recommend anyone to install files manually in /usr. The man page is there mostly in case anybody would want to package fri for a distribution.

    I have released v1.1.0 with Hemingway mode now.
