Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why?
   I built Textosan because it was a product that I personally felt was missing. I find that most traditional word processors are cluttered with buttons that I do not need, and yet somehow still lack fundamental insights. The things that should be simple are complex and the things that should be elaborate are oversimplified. I thought that maybe I could create a better one myself, and so Textosan was born. I really hope that Textosan can be of as much use to you as it has been for me!
