Zenpen
Zenpen is a browser-based text editor designed as a minimalist writing tool. It provides a distraction-free environment for composing and formatting plain text using Markdown syntax.
The editor removes visual clutter and complex menus, replacing them with a streamlined interface to maintain creative flow. Formatting options for bold, italics, and hyperlinks are provided through a contextual menu that appears only when text is selected.
Content is persisted locally using browser storage, allowing users to save their writing progress without requiring a remote account.
