What’s this?

A text editor that only allows the 1,000 most common words in English

I just got Randall Munroe’s new book Thing Explainer. Only using the top 1,000 words makes the text really easy to read. I thought I would make it easy for people to write like this, so I made this application. It’s cool to be clear.

Use it to tell your family members why their computers act up, or tell people at work why they should pay you more.

Trump mode

Trained with a few of Trump’s best known speeches, the app is now ready to help you write like a billionaire.
