#22My 3 minutes... RATHER STRESSFUL!!!
Wow, this is insane that I cannot even see what I ma typing... I don't understand why would somebody ever create something like that? Are you actually insane or is it just a pet project? Is it even built in react or have you been fully with the vanilla javascript we all miss so much?
Oh I thought I could stop whenever I wanted but not even possible to go back in time nowl. I am forced to carry on while watching that progress bar, darkp rogresss bar, slowly progressing.
Oh, and I have Grammarly installed as a CChrome Extension...... and I can see the red underlined text so that's not a great sign quite frankly. It's a tad stressful now as I do feel I am typing without aking any mistake(s) so it's weird I see red on my screen.
Ok, well, now I am just typing for the sake of seeing the results – most likely poor. I do enjoy this, though. Quite a fun excercise. I am so confused with the spelling of exercise right now.
Ok few seconds remaining, and the ordeal will be over. YAY!!!! Cannot wait for that last second!

#23This is a solution to my problem: as writing for me is always a struggle due to the tendency to keep more focussed on optimizing previously written text then on continue writing new. This app allows me to write like a flow.
This tool reminds me of the advice once given to NaNoWriMo participants (National Novel-Writing Month, super fun if you've never tried it in November). If you can't think of anything to write, just repeat "Ninja. Ninja. Ninja…" over and over again until you think of something. Just be sure to get words out and keep your mind-to-fingers connection nimble when first-drafting.

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
Huh? What dangerous userbase did it have?
Lawyers. WP was really, really common amongst the legal profession for a while, and from what I've heard, being forced to migrate to Word is still much lamented. But it's quite a bit harder to pull a GRRM there.
Damn. I was almost going to guess that. One of my clients was still using WordPerfect for DOS in the late 90s. They didn't want to deal with the retraining cost for secretaries and paralegals.
I always did like WordPerfect much more than Word. It was fundamentally a markup-style text editor. And you could switch to raw-text mode if necessary, and actually edit the markup. Word, on the other hand, is entirely opaque.

#25This reminds me of early versions of Microsoft Word. Edit: And more generally, DOS, FAT and CHKDSK. You never knew, when there was a power interruption -- or when the system just crashed for whatever mysterious reason -- just how bad it would be. NTFS was such an improvement.

#26This reminds me of "suicide linux" (available as a deb and docker image). If you type a typo in a command, it gets converted to rm -rf /
INSANE!

Using the app is fun, but I am not sure it's wise to publish the results. :)
We'd better avoid the comment section of this thread. :D

#28What's the business model? Paid extension to make no-typing interval longer?
Re: The Most Dangerous Writing App
#29This is GRRM's favorite writing App.

#303 Minutes:
Ok, so this is 3 minute typing in hardcore mode. I'm a little confused as to why I can't see the text... but oh well. I probably should have tested what happens if you stop typing in this mode. The idea here of the app is quite interesting. I think if it didn't really delete your text then that would be nice.... but then I guess it loses the point. I'm not quite sure though I understand the point of delteeing the text. But here we are. I think I can type pretty quick so apologies hackernews people if this is a really long ramble lol. This app could be really useful though when having to write a bunch of text for work or study or just to get your thoughts out there uninterrupted. I am really struggling now to know what to write. Any other features I can think of that would be useful? well I think if we had a goal of what we want to achieve and then could somehow indicate tht we had reached that goal - perhaps that would be useful. But I'm
