Sorry to bother with OT questions, but I can't test it (no Mac nor windows 
here) and the site is minimalistic too. Does it handles paragraphs like a 
true wordprocessor, or is it a kind of text editor where you have to force 
newlines with the enter key ?

As a matter of fact, I've long been toying with the idea of writing[*] that 
type of program as part of a more complex "mind mapping" package ; and I'm 
interested by actual users feedback to get a better grip on what level of 
acceptance I may face. If I were alone, I'd say vi's good enough on an amber 
monitor, but...

[*] With today dev kits, it's as easy as creating a fullscreen window, 
throwing a text widget in and a popup menu for luxury - total time under 3 
minutes.
