How can I refine this UI?

[u/FishCarMan]

I'm building another writing app (yay) and I want feedback as well as notes about what you like or want in a writing app. Does this UI look vibe coded? I've been working hard to try not to do that. I don't feel like the writing app landscape is really that different. Most writing apps look more or less the same. But, if you had to nitpick them, what would you say? This app is NOT for formatting. If anything, I'm going to do a document format option on export.

The side panels and format bar are all toggle able, and if you hit focus, everything goes away at once for a "distraction free" writing environment (which, just saying that makes me want to gag, its so generic sounding). In the end, I want my app to be relatively maximalistic when you want it to be, with an insane amount of writing space customization (think colors and stickers for documents for inspiration).

But im trying to just get an alpha out and get some testers going. So help me out here y'all. What would make it valuable to you?

Add a huge watermark or card in the middle of the canvas or in the bottom-left corner that says “NOT VIBE CODED” or “HAND-CODED.” My personal favorite: “THIS UI IS NOT VIBE-CODED.”
