Cleartext - A text editor that allows only the 1,000 most common words

Nice one @mortenjust !!

Too bad I can't use it on 10.9. The idea is good. (I hope this is a clear text.)

Ha, I'm super into Trump mode! It would be nice if you could custom adjust the number of words allowed beyond 1000. That way you could tailor what you're writing to your audience.

Such an interesting concept. I can totally see myself using this to write content that will appeal to a broad audience

Wow. I'm going to share this with everyone in PR and marketing that fights with people who continually insert $5 words into their copy.

As a writer, while we are intent on making our writing simple to understand but for a longish piece, it's important that we don't overuse a word many times—as the writing gets monotonous. How do you plan to tackle this?

This looks like it would be really useful when writing things to be read by non-native speakers of English

It's a very interesting concept and I like you made it open source, on the other side simpler language lead to simpler thought most of the time.

Ok, what about suggesting words and adding auto links to relevant sites or articles for better understanding

I cannot even type "website" or "average". :(
