Hey! Thanks for the kind words. Medium is a neat blogging platform with a focus on good quality content, although it is currently in its early stages and invite only.

The main concept in medium thats inspired me here, is their wysiwyg style editor (https://medium.com/about/df8eac9f4a5e) over markdown... although mine is a tad more minimal, I'd be lying if I didn't say they had a big influence on ZenPen.




Thanks so much for the link, for some reason I couldn't find this link. I don't write write access on Medium; was wondering how their editor worked.

I am working on an open-source app inspired by medium. Hopefully this should be done in a week's time. Here is work in progress: http://i.imgur.com/ZYWRc8k.png

I'll also borrow your/medium's idea of showing the toolbar when text is selected.
