Reminds me of my Masters degree where I used https://writemonkey.com for all my papers and final thesis. With the same Model M I'm typing on right now, when working at home (I had it on a flash pendrive). Man, you can't beat focus with such "zenware" and the clicking of the keyboard, it's almost like a metronome to your creativity. The 40-page is a hard limit, though. And export options must be very few (I used a... Source: almost 4 years ago
