Naw just normal people building for the people we love! Sorry for the jumpscare 👻

Yes we’ve been baking an app for some time and will release one in 2026 👀 in the meantime we have a really beloved “progressive web app” that powers a lot of people’s mobile writing. Would suggest giving it a try! 🙏

Totally agree that the hot bar should be pinned to the keyboard.

On iOS devices / web you can’t ship a custom keyboard (with the bar pinned to it). It was janky, unfortunately.

So we opted to have it at the top for consistency until we ship a native mobile app (this year hopefully, finally). 🙏

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you. Defend the em dash.

Agree! That and potentially images, too

Can you check again? A lot of users on our Discord are able to login.

We don't have Cloudflare in our app—but our login provider does, which is the cause of our incident.

We're monitoring (fuming) but lmk if something is amiss / reach out to our support if you're missing anything

Hey there we still have global styles but admittedly it's a bit hidden. Hope this helps 🙏 help.ellipsus.com/article/form...

We should be up. Right now we only have reports of invite links not working. 🤞

Many of those things are in-progress (e.g. granular styles) but we do themes each month which require minimal dev work (mostly design).

Oof that shouldn’t be the case. We do a lot of testing on large documents—my suggestion would be to clear your cache (you can do that on the setting page). Make sure your work is synced.

If that doesn’t work reach out to us on support. Happy writing! 🫡
