    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    While I'm getting ready to go to work (today is Saturday) I just got an idea how to implement an idea of mine. What would you think if my word processor has a tool to write math equations? Math equations is a sensitive subject when it comes to implementation in a word editor. Why? Because...

    You can't check it out yet. I haven't sent out the update. I'm still sitting in my office working my day job right now. It's a Friday night... so if you're drinking, send some positive vibes my way.

    So, inspired by your post, I've written some code that takes care of this problem. First of all, the list of fonts is now in alphabetical order. That's a given. I've added a search text box. The search algo will look for the sequences of input regardless of where it is in the phrase. So...

    Please, do. Yeah, I realized that yesterday. I threw in exactly 1 line of code and voila everything was alphabetized. You mean auto-complete search box for the fonts? No problem. Will include that in the next update. Why, thank you.

    So, I sent out the update late last night and now it is in the store. That's weird, because it normally takes several days, especially during the weekend. Anyway, please try it out and see if there's anything wrong. I'm a little scared because half of the code behind the app has been...

    Just sent out the update. Here are the things that you will see changed. First of all, real-time spell checker. You have no idea how many times I banged my head against a brick wall to make this happen. I almost gave up several times, too. What kept me going was the fact that a word...

    Haha what's worse is I'm OC about these things. I went to sleep and woke up this morning at 5am with a solution in my head. Sleep does wonders. I'll find the time later today to implement my fix to the bug. The bug is in relation to the way the app exports the file. I'm making it possible to...

    Ok, thanks! That would be great. Can't wait to transition this app to windows 10. So, I was this close to clicking the submit button to upload the update. Then last minute test showed up a weird behavior. Previously, the formatting engine was in rtf. For the latest update, in order make...

    Way ahead of you there. New update, which will be sent out tonight and probably be in the store tomorrow, will hide the menu and top title bar when you swipe from top edge if you're using touch, move mouse cursor to top edge of screen and right click, or press on keyboard windows_button+z...

    So, last night I added support for 255 font styles. You heard that right. Some users have emailed me requesting for more fonts. Have also added find and replace control. The document will highlight all words matching what you put into the find in real time. You can find next, replace, and...

    I can't afford to pay for a server that can handle lots of traffic. A competitor could use the link to my server for download of the dictionaries and put it in his own app. He can also mess with my bandwidth limit by linking it in his ad. I know this because it has happened to me before. What's...

    Thank you for your kind words in the review. I recognized your name there :) There is a unique problem that comes with letting people download these dictionaries. I ran into this back in my hacker days with a competitor.

    Yeah, no lag at all. I've made sure that the way the dictionaries are handled does not take up too much memory and cpu resources. This was a major concern of mine when I first started writing this part of the app.

    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    Question for you guys. For the next update, I want to include dictionaries for 21 languages for the real time spell checker function. I selected these languages because of the geography of my app's downloaders. I also selected these languages because some students have requested them for...

    [Rumor] Windows 9 Supposedly Confirmed to be a Free Upgrade for Windows 8 Users

    I don't understand. Why no live feed? Why not want to make a big splash? Edit. By the way, it's called windows 10.

    Well, come up with a better one for me then. I'm an engineer. You know about the eternal conflict between engineers and architects? Architects wanna make everything look aesthetically pleasing while engineers just want to make everything rectangle.

    Learn to Create Apps?

    My advise is don't use anything other than visual studio. Just jump in and make your first hello world app. Ignore what other programmers recommend, like emulators and stuff. You're like me, a self made programmer. Stick with only visual studio. Try to understand how xaml work and how c# can...
