WHAT IS TANDEM?

Tandem is an editor for doing simple editing tasks using two resizable, 
independently scrollable editing areas.

Also, in modern browsers Tandem remembers where you left it last, so you can come 
back to it later - But doesn't currently save what you're doing anywhere other than 
on your device.

Examples uses:

* Responding to email - paste the email(s) you're responding to in one area, 
                        and compose your email in the other.

* Composing email     - use one area for holding notes or points you want to make, 
                        which you can refer to whilst composing in the other.

WHY TWO EDITING AREAS?

Email example: Usually an email is sent in response to something, even multiple things,
and often you have to go back and forth between writing the email and referring to 
previous email(s), which is a time consuming task and difficult to balance. So, by 
simply pasting your reference emails in one area, and composing in the other, you can
now simply scroll up and and edit down these areas (independently), making sure 
you've answered all of the relevant items.

WHY TANDEM?

Originally, the idea came about because email clients - both web (GMail, Hotmail, etc) 
and desktop (Apple Mail, Outlook, etc) - either provide less space to compose your 
email or make it difficult for you to refer to the email(s) you may be responding 
to whilst composing.

Tandem is simple intentionally; it aims to provide a large space for you to just 
compose an email, and another space for you to put everything you need to refer to
whilst composing that email - two activities that are not as easily done in today's
email clients.

There are plans to integrate Tandem with email clients and your desktop, but as 
Tandem has already proven useful as is, I thought I'd put it up and start the experiment.
