Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Zen version 1.2 as active, updated 15y ago and tested up to WordPress 3.1.

Overview

About this plugin

A distraction-free environment for blogging; inspired by Habari, OmmWriter, WriteRoom, and the countless wasted hours I’ve spent staring at blank screens.

If you’re a fan of WriteRoom, OmmWriter, or similar tools that help you focus on your words instead of the tools you’re using, this plugin will soon make your wildest dreams come true (and give you a simple clean environment to write to your heart’s content)!

While Zen does not replace the existing Edit Post/Page screen, it provides a layer on top that allows you to focus on your writing. You get an input box for the title a regular ol’ textbox to add your post (feel free to use HTML).

NOTE: Zen requires PHP 5+. Not on PHP 5 yet? Talk to your hosting provider and get them to upgrade!

You can thank me later.

If you’re a designer (or even just a regular Jane or Joe) and have any ideas for themes, please get in touch! I’d love to add it to Zen!

If you have any ideas for Zen or features you’d like to see included, please get in touch!

Zen was inspired by this post on Habari by ifranky.

Special thanks to Andrew Spittle for helping me out the with theme designs.
