Strengths

- Simple keyboard shortcuts improve typing flow (review: 'Ctrl+Shift+Space to start a new line is genius')

Weaknesses

- Limited export options—only plain text or PDF (review: 'Need to export to Word for editing; this is a pain')
- No cloud sync across devices (review: 'Switching from phone to laptop means I lose my work')
- No dark mode toggle despite demand (review: 'My eyes hurt after long sessions—dark mode would help')
- No templates or prompts for idea generation (review: 'It’s great for writing but doesn’t help me start')
