I like the idea behind this and how it can push you to write more, but my 'must save my work' anxiety would kick in without the ability to save my work! Did i miss something? Can you save your work? Or is it writers hell?! Cute idea though.
@felixoginni ok. That sounds good but it doesn't save in a cloud somewhere? What if power goes or i accidentally close the tab? It's gone for good - like @stephenmarklevi said, its writers hell. Maybe it should be mentioned somewhere along the top of the page so not to ward people off from using it. It's a nice tool that can help with productivity, i'm sure. It's a little too risque (lol) for me at the moment but glad its out there for others to use.
@rrhoover Which in turn is a heartless app-based version of the questionably designed but beautifully named "Write or Die" :)

@rrhoover both this and Flowstate are awesome! I just need something like this. These can be especially useful while writing morning pages (http://juliacameronlive.com/basi...) where you should not stop and think, just write.

Pretty good way to start your day. This is good for 'morning pages', without the pressure of writing something that can be 'saved for later'. Just write, and use the ideas you get to write later in the day. Cool!
I like that's it's an affordable version of Flowstate (you get to try the concept for free), but I still don't like the fact that you can write a letter and hit backspace constantly to stall the timer and generate time to think. I really wish I had no choice but to keep writing.
Report
@wyel I hit the backspace button a few times (editing my thoughts) at 4:56 on a 5 min timer and all was lost..
@mathurgaurav What I was doing is typing a random letter and hitting backspace right after (over and over). So it seems like only "typing" counts, and not "erasing". It kind of makes sense if you consider that it's made for you to spill out your thoughts, and not think about editing (which should be done later).
Report
@wyel I understand and agree. Yet, I wish I had a warning before. It was surprisingly scary and especially painful lose out when just 4 seconds were left.
@mathurgaurav Totally agree! I think hitting backspace should count as typing as well.
Report
@wyel@mathurgaurav Backspace button shouldn't even respond to tap ... or if you hit it, it immediately eats 3 seconds off the clock like a time-trials penalty.

Pretty #BadAss! I've been listening to Brian Koppelman's podcast heavily and trying to commit myself to Morning Pages. Maybe this could be just the ticket!
Did anyone try "HARDCORE Mode"???? Fogged/Frosted UI obfiscating your words! #EPICSHIT
