There are many times when amongst the constant distraction and multiple tuggings of social networking I found it very hard to concentrate and do some writing. Barely, a minute would pass by before I would minimize my app and once again check out what everyone else is doing. That was when I came across the wonderful app Ommwriter. Yet just like everything else, it was just for the Mac.

So, taking the matter into my own hands I decided to code an app which could do something atleast similar to my inspiration. After toiling hard for some time I finally present to you the fruits of my labour: “NAN - Not Another Notepad ” I believe it captures the essence of creating a writing experience, sprinkled with a dash of modernity. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. (Which, admittedly, was not very much ;) )

How to use NAN ?

Ok, enough talk. Bring it on.

Click the image to enlarge.

This is the default view when you open NAN. It consists of a text field which is for typing in text and a toolbar in the side which is for performing certain operations. Pretty Simple, Eh?

How can I hack it ?

Where's the thrill in a program in which you cannot change what you want. Although I'm working on adding a preferences dialog, in the meantime, you can use a quick-hack to change both the music and the background image.

Go to the directory in which NAN is installed. In that replace the following files with the the new files of your choice. Remember to rename the files you copied to the same name as here. bg.wav - The background music ./images/bg.jpg - The background image

See? I quite enjoy making other people work.
