Word Progress Bar

Track your writing progress with a miniature progress bar in the status bar.

Set a word count goal and watch the bar fill up as you write. When you hit your goal, it turns green.

Usage

For all files (default goal)

Toggle on Use default word goal for all files in settings and set a Default word goal. The progress bar will appear on every note using that goal.

For specific files (property)

Add a word-goal property (default) to a note's frontmatter:

---
word-goal: 500
---

The progress bar will show only on notes that have this property. You can rename the property key in settings (Frontmatter key for per-file goal).
