Fun! I came up with a similar concept - except you can only type in one word at a time. It discourages self-editing while also not being as extreme as exploding text. https://flow.voxos.ai/

That's an interesting constraint. I also like that the blurred words stay visible — I can see how much I've written in real time. Thanks for sharing.

How do I save?

Everything is saved automatically to your browser's local storage. To export as .txt, open the Read Back screen from the top right and tap the Share button. Note: the Read Back button only appears after you've written something.

ちなみに、日本語のバージョンでイタリック体の漢字と仮名があることに気づきましたが、それが普段ですか？僕は日本語が下手ですが、日本語でイタリック体の字があまり使われていないと聞いたことがあるだけです。でも、やはり実践にそうじゃないですか？

You're right. Italic is rarely used in Japanese, and it seems the English styling was inadvertently applied to the Japanese text as well. I'll fix it right away.
