If Sigur Ros Made TextEdit

Why isn’t more care taken to improve the design of soft­ware inter­face? I hate Microsoft Word because it is clut­tered, ugly and inef­fi­cient. I love Pages because it man­ages to handle the same task without being ugly. But when I just want to write some­thing to remember it and it never needs to enter a print format, I use TextEdit. It’s fast, effi­cient, and small.

If TextEdit is Times New Roman, Ommwriter is Helvetica Neue Ultralight.

Ommwriter is the first soft­ware I can remember using that almost made me cry. It’s like playing Flower for PS3. A beau­tiful expe­ri­ence. I bet Sigur Ros uses this soft­ware to write their songs. I almost sub­con­sciously wrote a haiku when I first opened the application.

I realize I used a lot of hyper­bole and metaphors in this post. Just watch the video and down­load the soft­ware to get the full expe­ri­ence for your­self. Mac only for now.
