I haven’t tried it yet but it is an interesting idea for an app. My initial thoughts are: if I have something that seems to be important or significant that I wrote down near the start of my note, I would probably type gibberish or nonsense if I wanted to prevent it from being erased. Is there some way to ameliorate this situation where I would end up padding the note with fluff? My guess is to just make the timer shorter. Or maybe have some “checkpoint” for a longer timer.

Also, when it comes to handwriting, is there a way to support this input? I’ll say that a lot of left-handed writers have the opposite issue when writing with ink on paper. If they write too fast, most of them will end up smudging what they just wrote. This is not an issue on electronic writing devices of course.

Beyond writer's block, this helped me lock in. I often take long thinking pauses and get lost in mental rabbit holes, which wastes time and reduces my productivity.

I would appreciate a version with slightly lower risk. As it stands, I don't think I could use this current version for anything beyond your intended use case of short, paragraph-long blurbs.

I can’t use it on mobile looks like which is annoying as we’ve had touch screen phones for almost 20yrs now, the good thing is at least I care enough im annoyed I can’t use it. I’d imagine you’ll get a lot more sharing if mobile works

I've seen similar tools before. This seems like it fades out a bit too quickly.

I imagined this as a multiplayer writing experience.

I’ve increased the time before failure — now writing will be a bit easier, and losing a bit harder.

Huge thanks for all your feedback!

kind of off putting to have to wait and go through all the dialogue screens when you just want to start typing
