BLOB

A minimalist word processor for writers and poets. For the love of writing.


BLOB is a distraction-free writing tool designed for people who care about words. No cluttered toolbars. No formatting menus. Just you and your writing — in one elegant, calligraphic typeface.

Built especially for poets who share their work on Instagram and Twitter/X.

Try it live — or download the desktop app below.


Download for Windows

Installer Size Description
BLOB_1.0.0_x64-setup.exe ~2.4 MB Installer (recommended)
BLOB_1.0.0_x64_en-US.msi ~3.3 MB MSI installer (IT / silent install)

Requirements: Windows 10/11 with WebView2 (included in Windows 11, auto-installed on Windows 10).


What BLOB does

  • Writes beautifully — Cormorant Garamond, a calligraphic serif with the feel of pen on fine paper
  • Bold — the only style option, via Ctrl+B
  • Line breaks — Enter
  • Page breaks — Ctrl+Enter (a subtle dividing line)
  • Auto-saves to your browser — your words are never lost
  • Export to DOCX — open in Microsoft Word or Google Docs
  • Export to PDF — letter-size, ready to print or share
  • Export as image — a beautiful poetry card for social media:
    • Instagram portrait (1080 × 1350)
    • Square (1080 × 1080)
    • Twitter / X (1600 × 900)
    • Warm, white, or dark background
    • Center or left alignment
    • Optional BLOB watermark

Run locally (web version)

git clone https://github.com/Ray86-dev/BLOB.git
cd BLOB
npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5173

npm run build   # production build → dist/
npm run preview # preview the build

Build desktop app from source

Requires Rust and Visual Studio Build Tools (C++ workload).

npm install
npm run tauri:dev    # development with hot-reload
npm run tauri:build  # production build → src-tauri/target/release/

The installers will be generated in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/.


Stack

  • Vite + Vanilla TypeScript — no framework, maximum simplicity
  • Tauri v2 — native desktop app (~2.4 MB installer, uses system WebView2)
  • Cormorant Garamond via @fontsource — self-hosted, no external requests
  • docx — DOCX generation in the browser
  • jsPDF + html2canvas — PDF and PNG export

Philosophy

BLOB has exactly one font, one size, and one style option (bold). This is not a limitation — it is a choice. The fewer decisions a writer must make about how their words look, the more attention they can give to what those words say.

The toolbar is nearly invisible until you need it. The background is warm parchment. The line height is generous. Everything is designed to get out of the way and let you write.
