WriteRoom: Free full-screen writing app for OS X
Submitted by Merlin on June 30, 2006 - 6:16am.
O, how we distraction-prone people pine for persistent and ubiquitous full-screen mode. And it looks like the good folks at Hog Bay have come up with an elegant freeware app to help save the beleaguered writer from him or herself.
For Mac users who enjoy the simplicity of a typewriter, but live in the digital world. WriteRoom is a full screen, distraction free, writing environment. Unlike standard word processors that focus on features, WriteRoom is just about you and your text…
It’s a primitive application, to be sure – I suspect completely by design – but it may be just what the doctor ordered if you need to get your head out of your butt and put some words on the page. I can see myself spending a lot of time in WriteRoom.

I just wish that they author of Megazoomer would fix it. I’d pay $50 for it if it worked properly (which it almost does already.)
Running Textmate, Terminal and Safari (without page reloads) fullscreen was just toooo nice. The bugs in the SMBL extension make all sorts of things break, though. :(
Merlin: maybe you can convince the Textmate people to make full-screen zoom a reality. You are, after all, all-powerful and named Merlin.
