Google’s recently released App Engine is already spawning several interesting projects. One of my favorites is MyTextFile. It has a simple premise: online text editing with no distractions.

Unlike online text editors like Google Docs, MyTextFile doesn’t try to include rich text editing. As it’s hosted on Google App Engine, you log in with your Google Account. Once logged, you are presented with simple text area.

You can write. That’s it. Code, to-do lists, whatever. But whatever you decide to do with your text file, it’s their when you log back in. Theirs no managing, no complicated settings. Just distraction free editing of a single file.

Other online text-editors have gone for this approach, such as Writer. But these apps are too complex by being so simple. To continue editing a file, you have to download a .txt of your work, and then copy and paste back into the app when you want to continue. With MyTextFile, you have one file tied to your account that’s their when you log back on.
