Hey there! Dhaval and I acquired The Most Dangerous Writing App and upgraded it with 500+ prompts generator along with options to export your work in doc, PDF, DOCX, and more.
As a result, we renamed it to The Most Dangerous Writing Prompts :)
Not too long ago, Dhaval and I founded a book writing software, Squibler. As an add-on to support writers, we acquired one of the most viral writing tools, The Most Dangerous Writing App. Then we spent time improving it with 500+ writing prompts and combined with a writing prompt generator.
@joshuafechter keep it up Josh! Will give it a try—seems way cool :)

"Some of these services may record sessions and make them available for later visual playback." = hard pass.
*** edit: You say in this comment below that there's no session recording, and yet your own privacy policy specifically states that there may be. So, which is it? And why have that legal language if it's not something you do? Sorry, but there's a LOT of abuse of people's privacy these days and you surely understand why users putting their personal writing into a website would be concerned, right? ***
Pros:
I love(d) the functionality and design of Most Dangerous Writing App.
Cons:
Scary privacy policy -- particularly for a WRITING app. (Don't take my word for it, go read it yourself.)
There is NO Session recording happening on TMDWP. Absolutely NONE.

Just read the policy. The session recording seems to only be in relation to the onsite heat-mapping.

I love the concept and execution! It would be great if you could provide case studies or data that showcase the efficacy of this process. Does it work with audio-based dictation as well?
This is a great way to write. I use this format every day with Flowstate for iOS. @joshuafechter did you acquire Flowstate? Also called "The Most Dangerous App". http://hailoverman.com/flowstate.

Content creators will love that. will give it a try

This is a site that benefits the most from being streamlined. I hope they don't go feature crazy here.
Pros:
I love TMDWA - a terrific tool to get you to focus on writing. I use it all the time,
Cons:
The prompts feature is pretty useless. It's great to get people to write random stuff, but the tool was better in its simpler format.

Also @producthunt can you auto-populate the pros/cons boxes with the character counts? I had to keep guessing how long my post was.

Though I had fun using it , the title "The Most Dangerous Writing Prompts" is a bit too hard as you can just extend your deadline by pressing anykey or spacebar only.
Pros:
Easily a fun tool to write!!
The UI is good.
A creative experience.
Cons:
The data you create may lead to privacy issues .
It just detects the keypresses no matter if they actually make a word .
