The writing desk

A blank page and a blinking cursor, and nothing else on the screen. Eight colour modes, a live word count, and typewriter scrolling that slides the paper up beneath you as you write. It opens in a new tab. Write your own essay in it.

The words stay with you. The draft is kept in your browser between visits, and the save button writes a plain text file wherever on your machine you want it: no account, no upload, no server at the other end. Try 499 of them.

The documents and the card

Three more things to keep, each living on its own page. The Manifesto and the Investment Thesis are both there as PDFs, laid out for print. And the calculator draws a card naming the month and year your capital income overtakes your spending, with no amounts on it, so it can be shared without telling anyone what you own.
