Is there a free cloud-based, multi-platform writing application around?

| If not, what are /tech/ tips for making one?

(Bonus points if it has the option to set a dark background.)


| Just writing?


| Wouldn't any server based notepad application work?


| You mean like Evernote or turtl?


| If you're happy selling your soul, Google Docs is alright.


| https://writer.bighugelabs.com if you dont mind having to use browser/sign up. You can turn off the clacky-typewriter sounds too I think


| wait nvm it's only cloud-based if you have pro


| What does "writing application" mean? A web based text editor?


| In the later case, one can have:
- https://www.tinymce.com/
- https://ace.c9.io/
- https://quilljs.com/

If you want to write books with typesettings, fonts, paragraphs, ToC, and all the bells and whistles, you should seriously consider TeX/LaTeX and have a look at:
- https://latexbase.com/


| >>303605 I tried that, but it doesn't have a synced Android app so


| >>303984 Could be, but with formatting options (like Word).


| >>304128
Google Docs


| If you want it the hard way, then write yourself a python program that will get text from your server/pc idk, and then save to file, also writing a text editor itself in python shouldn't be hard, and its CrOsSpLaTfOrM.
