Word Count

[andyesys]

Using panwriter as a focused minimal writing tool is close to perfect. All I am missing is a way to count the words.

Thank! Yes, probably we should just at a small bottom bar that's shown whenever you hover over it or the top bar... there we could display such information without it getting too much in the way...

That would be great, thank you!

@aschoenebeck For a very rough approximation, you can break out the console and:

document.body.innerText.length

for characters or:

document.body.innerText.split(" ").length

for words. Lots of edge cases that doesn't handle, but it does at least put you in the ballpark before copying + pasting into a different editor to get a real count!

+1 for the word count feature request. (Maybe also characters?)

I'd like this very much too.
