Worst Draft is a Java-based, minimalist word processor that removes access to the two biggest roadblocks for writers: editing & distractions.
Once upon a time, people pounded out their memos and missives on a typewriter. There was no backspace, spell check, or fancy formatting, just forward movement, and muttered obscenities when you screwed up. Typewriter brings some of that ink-stained experience back.
