I built a doc writing app that’s tailored to my vision.

I got hooked on vibe coding a while back. Not the "learn to code in 30 days" kind of hooked. More like I started poking at things, building small experiments, filling a mood board with ideas. Most of them didn't feel excited enough to pursue. Some felt too far out of reach. So I kept dabbling without committing.

But I have a rule I'm starting to hold myself to: I only want to build things that mean something. Even if they're experimental. Even if they're rough around the edges. The product has to solve a real problem. Ideally, one I've been personally annoyed by for a long time.

Then one morning, something shifted. I woke up and just thought: fuck it, build the thing that's been bothering you the most.

For me, that thing was document writing.

Every app I tried was wrong in a different way.

I've cycled through all of them. Google Docs never felt like mine. Microsoft Word is a bloated mess designed for people who need 47 toolbar options to write a memo. Notion is great for a lot of things, but focused writing isn't one of them, and the copy-paste behavior alone has cost me hours of sanity.

Apple Notes was close to perfection for me. I love it on iPad. But once you accumulate enough in there, it starts to fall apart. It's not built for volume. And I had a whole complicated thing going with Apple Pages when I was drafting and editing content for Story Brew and recording bedtime stories for English learners.

Let's just say it was a love-hate situation that made me want to throw my laptop across the room more than once.

None of these apps was built for someone who writes the way I write. I needed something minimal, distraction-free, and actually optimized for how I think on an iPad.

So I built it.

TWO is the first real thing I've shipped under Ryoka.

TWO is a document writing app for people who want to write without fighting their tools. It's in BETA right now, and honestly — I'm proud of it. More than I expected to be.

Here's what's in it:

Split View is probably the feature I'm most attached to. Two documents open side by side, a draggable divider, reference, and write at the same time. It sounds simple. It changes everything when you're actually trying to think.

Live Sync means your work appears instantly across every device: Mac, iPad, browser, without manual saves or version conflicts. It just works.

Tabs let you keep multiple docs open at once and switch between them without losing your place. Research in one tab, draft in another. The way it should be.

Shared Workspaces are there if you work with a small team. Invite people, share docs, edit in real time, keep everything in one place.

Beyond that, the editor supports markdown shortcuts and callout blocks without turning into a bloated formatting nightmare. The library gives you a bento-style overview of everything you've written: folders, recent docs, and favorites. There are templates for things like meeting notes, OKRs, and weekly reviews. And export to PDF or Markdown is one click.

The Mac app and iPad app are in the works. For now, the PWA versions are surprisingly solid.

This is the beginning of something.

TWO is the first product I've launched under Ryoka. The brand I'm building is around acquiring, creating, and experimenting with micro-SaaS tools. TWO and Ryoka launched at the same time, which made this feel like a proper beginning rather than just a side project.

I'm not trying to kill Notion or compete with Apple. I'm just building the thing I wanted to exist. And if other people who write on iPads feel the same frustration I did, maybe TWO is for them too.

It's early. It's BETA. But it's real, and it's mine and even if I have zero paid subscribers, I will use it full-time.
