ajaxwrite

found this on digg today. it’s called ajaxwrite – it’s an online text editor that looks a lot like a stripped down ms word. ajaxwrite is, not surprisingly, written in ajax, a language i’ve been hearing a lot of hype about lately. perhaps the hype is justified though; ajaxwrite is really really fast + smooth.
all they need to do is add online storage of documents (perhaps save to your 2 gigs of gmail?) and you’d have a nice thin-client. no more ms word licenses – 90% of people would probably be able to get away with just logging onto this ajaxwrite server.
of course, god only knows how private those documents you write will be …
