I have a txt file with local variables:
;; -*- mode: text; -*-
;; Local Variables:
;; fill-column: 48
;; eval: (typewriter-roll-mode +1)
;; End:I love the idea! It just creates a very minimalistic feeling and helps my mind not get overwhelmed with big chunks of text. However, the no-edits thing is a bit frustrating personally. A solution would be to allow edits as long as the text is visible, plus increase the timeline the text stays in the view (the pace in the homepage is ideal i feel).
This is so super delightful. I explored a similar space when I was first learning piano and was enjoying how freeing it is to have the melodies and mistakes sort of drift into the air. In case the work proves useful to your endeavors: https://github.com/cj-dimaggio/transient-words
Great name. I accidentally reloaded the page on my phone, thus losing all my (meaningless, auto-complete generated) text. So maybe an auto-save would be better? Years ago there was a lightweight app for the then-current version of Mac OS X called Grandview. When invoked, it would fill your screen with a background color and you would see only a huge version of the single word you were currently typing. (I don't remem…
This is great! It’s the perfect implementation of stream-of-consciousness journaling, especially when you need to get your emotions out on the page. My college English professor used to recommend putting a towel over your laptop to encourage a flow state when writing. This is easier :) Will bookmark this and try it the next few times when I journal. Great job!
I love the idea, but at least on android the text scrolls backwards as some people have already noticed. Also, my keyboard thinks that wrvy word needs to be capitalized for some reason so I'm typing backwards all caps. And with he no editing, if it was set up in a way that let my phone at least autocorrect my typos, I think that would go a long way to making this more usable. But kudos for getting something out there…
I’ve downloaded Android Studio for testing, so I’ll get to work figuring out where the bug is coming from.
What’s the reasoning for no backspace? I understand not allowing edits before the current word but I am a very clumsy typer, and this made me pretty frustrated when every other word had a typo.
Any inspiration from https://enso.sonnet.io ? I'm a big fan of everything Rafał Pastuszak does. They also recently announced a public beta of a rewrite of that product https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/new-enso-first-public-beta/ Oh - looks like it's been on HN too. Some good discussions...

Well ... On my Android phone it just types backward in capitals! Like EB OT TON RO EB OT And I had to type that in here because it won't select for copy. Not what I was hoping for!
Aw, sorry to hear that. I remember encountering that bug a while back and was happy when I figured out a way to squash it. Admittedly I tested this app in browsers on Linux, Mac, and on an iPhone, but not Android. So I'll get a hold of an Android device and figure out a way to re-squash the backwards bug. Thanks for the heads up.
