Dear Essay users,

Thanks for supporting our rich text editor app. As many of you know, Essay is no longer available in the App Store. The good news is that I have been working with Evernote to bring rich text editing to their fantastic application. This means you get all of the rich text editing you love paired with the strong organization and sync capabilities of Evernote, all for free.

admin — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 08:30:30 +0000

Essay is a rich text editor that offers only the most essential formatting options to keep the writer concentrated on the document. The file format used is HTML which is itself is the base format of all web pages and therefore well supported and well documented. There are various ways of importing and exporting documents to Essay. As a little plus Essay also features sending texts as formated HTML emails like you are used from the desktop. Word and character counting gives you control of your works progress as you type. We hope you enjoy Essay as much as we do.

Essay is available now on the Apple AppStore.

I had the honor to work on a very nice project this year for the eGenix GmbH. It is about bringing a better VAT infrastructure to the African country Ghana. We used technologies like Python, Django, Javascript and YUI.

To get an idea of it I recommend to watch this lightning talk Marc-Andre Lemburg gave at the EuroPython 2009.
