How would you write a novel in Word/Pages?
There are some people trying to recreate the Wordstar experience, like this one, and they supposedly were great and simple for writing long-form content (it was before my time, so I have no experience with it).

Lightweight Word Processor
WordGrinder. It's great for distraction-free writing, and can output Markdown or troff. It's a great tool for getting words down, but its otherwise pretty limited (which I think is one of its strengths). When I need to print or generate a PDF, I have a little script.

Is there a way to have a full TUI desktop environment?
For word processing there's WordGrinder, which is in the repos for many distros (in Fedora: dnf install wordgrinder). Things like LaTeX and Groff are for typesetting, which I don't view as the same as word processing. WordGrinder is more like the classical DOS word processors (e.g. WordPerfect 5.1).

Building the fastest Lua interpreter.. automatically!
I have a word processor I wrote (https://cowlark.com/wordgrinder) which is mostly written in Lua, with hardware-specific stuff in C, and while this works extremely well, I'd very much like something with stronger typing. There's a possibility I'd be able to just drop in Luau and get it, plus some performance benefits. I'd need to reimplement parts of the standard library due to Luau having dropped things like the io library but that's no great hardship. I like the syntax, too, which is expressive and very lightweight.

Edex UI, a UI for the digital minimalist.
Ok, say you are a bit of a nerd and you love to stay "focuced" on whatever you are doing. These days, a bunch of windows tend to distract you and before you know it you are off surfing for kittens on the internet. Enter Edex UI, a nerdy "shell" on top of your Windows/Mac/Linux interface that gives you access to the command line AND to your files. The interface is very very nerdy (think 1999's Hackers) and you do need to know how to run some command line apps (or you can go for applications like Micro and Tilde to use as a text editor). The result? Supernerdy, distraction free interface that will get you a LOT of eyeballs if you decide to use it in the local Starbucks. Easy peasy to install https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui
