Hi @robert , Verb looks great. Is it already in a repository?

I wonder if you have thought of using #LibreOfficeKit as backend? A simple GTK4-based word processor on top of libreofficekit as backend would be great. A simple app that can display any #LibreOffice document with basic text-editing features. Together with a minimal clutter-free UI would be great. I'd use it everyday.

See (incl. prototype): dev.blog.documentfoundation.or

Jim “muppets” Henson was contracted by #IBM to make a film extolling the virtues of their new technology, the MT/ST, a #wordprocessor. The film would explore how the MT/ST would help control the massive amount of documents generated by a typical business office. #Paperwork Explosion, produced in October 1967, a #montage of images and words illustrating the intensity and pace of modern business. Henson collaborated with Raymond Scott on the electronic sound track.

You know what would be cool? A modernized word processor that uses an e-ink display, stores files on a USB-C drive, with magsafe charging, and a battery. It’d be a great option for privacy-minded people that want the retro experience, but with modern sensibility. Write their great American novel in a distraction free experience, and no internet access. Print it from itself when they're done - for a fraction of the cost of a Mac or PC
