Write a sentence, read it again, select the part that should be in italics, mark it with the mouse or by moving your fingers on the touch pad or keyboard (oopsies, one character off), repeat the marking (this time correctly, ugh), find the right button or use the appropriate keyboard shortcut, write another sentence, paragraph, chapter, essay, book... What happens if the internet crashes, autosaving fails, the version of the software is not up to date? Most of the commonly used text writing tools offer a lot of formatting options, thus directing attention away from the writing itself. This thesis explores their features, (inter)compatibility and user experience. Its goal is to create a specification of the writer.axdx tool which should be used as a text editor for projects within the community-software.axdx (an ecosystem of tools and methods serving communities). The goal of this tool is to bring the focus back to the writing itself, in a format that is not constrained by proprietary software and does not break when opened in another editor. To provide the ability to work with text according to one's own needs, which are otherwise defined by the needs or methods of the so-called power user. To have everything that is needed for writing and nothing that is not.
