Well, I’m not in Denver. I have had bad luck when flying Southwest, but this time it took the cake. After getting to the airport early in case lines were long from the DHS shutdown (they weren’t), my flight ended up getting delayed for about 10 minutes before it got canceled all together. I was rebooked for a flight the next day. That didn’t work since it was a short trip, so I decided to stay home and rebook for next week.

Since I ended up having extra time, I’ve worked on a few things today. A few bugs and features, mostly, but I also started figuring out Inkwell’s mobile experience. I’ve focused on Desktop so far, since I feel most long-form writers would prefer to write on PC rather than mobile (or at least I do). But you can’t always have your PC, so it’s been on the to-do list to improve the mobile experience.

I’ve been impressed by the adoption so far (thank you!), so I’ll likely try to get Inkwell into the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. But for now, I was able to get the site set up as a PWA (Progressive Web App) and even has push notifications. For anyone who wants to use (or test) Inkwell on mobile, you can add it to your home screen so it feels more like a traditional app. If anyone wants more instructions, I’m happy to set up a quick how-to page. I’m sure getting through app store hurdles will not be quick or easy.

Testers are appreciated!
