OmPad is a free online text editor that comes with a minimal interface. Writing on its interface is really interesting and distraction free. You can use any of its beautiful themes to remain focused towards writing and also generate good ideas. It also provides an auto-save feature, so whatever you type is saved instantly.
I have seen many text editor websites, but OmPad has become my favorite due to its so many features. For example, it provides real-time character and word count feature, option to insert an online image, change the font, font size, width, and edit HTML of your text content. So having a minimal interface doesn’t make it a basic editor. It has fantastic features that I’m sure you will like.

How to use this Minimal Online Text Editor?
Use this link and you will be directed to its homepage. You will find some text information which you can read and delete. After this, you can start writing your own text content and it will save the text automatically. Even if you close the tab or the window, the text will remain safe (until you clear the browsing data).
When you have to adjust the formatting for a particular text, you need to select that text. After this, options will come in a pop-up to make the text bold, Italic, insert link, select the heading type etc.
There are few more features that you can use by hovering over the OmPad icon available at bottom left corner. Using that icon, you will be able to change the theme, font size, width, and font type.
When you have to see the total number of words and characters written by you, you can see the result at bottom right corner. There you will also find an option to edit the HTML. Clicking on that option will help you view and edit the HTML in a pop up.
My Verdict:
OmPad is really a brilliant writing app and I can surely to recommend it to everyone. It covers all the necessary features that should be present in a writing application plus it has valuable features like auto saving mode, beautiful themes, HTML editor, etc., that make it stand apart from basic online editors.
