I didn't start this project to solve problems for bloggers, there are plenty of them solving it really well. It is a niche problem that I had.
This. The startup-oriented audience sometimes forgets that people don't always start a project that scratches a universal itch. Sometimes you just want to make a small bit of your own life better and then share the solution with the world, just in case it helps someone else, too.
It's a valid observation of what Zen is compared to other Mahayana traditions. A return to the core fundamentals without all the clutter. It doesn't bother me.

This "pop" usage of zen hurts my religious sensibilities. zen is about being a lotus in a dirt-pool.
I use a custom aspell dictionary for writing in German.
I use a word count status bar.
I use dumb vim aliases to correct "fro" to "for".
I have aliases for unicode symbols.
I have a single bash function that does the editing and push on save.
Isn't my dumb solution better than yours, for me atleast ?
WTF is so zen about full-screen ?
Why aren't you solving real problems for bloggers, getting heard in a sea of me-too's, separating advertisers(propaganda) from truth.

edit: Grammar based correction. I'd pay for that, having corrected some just now :)

I'm sorry about it. I assume the word is also used in a sense of being calm and out of clutter.

If your solution works for you, it is definitely better. If you think others also would subscribe to your solution, do post it.

IMHO, Zen is not just about fullscreen. It is about how much minimalistic and uncluttered your experience is.

> Zen like blog editor for your Jekyll blog, heavily inspired by Svbtle and Obvtse.
What is the problem ?
>> I want to look cool like Svbtle ?
Give the stylesheet away for free.
>> I want to use browser to edit files ?
One important idea of jekyll was to use $EDITOR for blogging.
What about version control ?
> niche problem
sigh

That's not very Zen of you.
Yeah. Read a shitty blog and know all about zen. Overload "zen" to mean cool, hip, minimal.
Advertisers re-defined love as diamonds in 50 years.
Maybe zen will be a styleshit in 2050.
