Turn your browser into a cozy, nostalgic writing nook for letters, journals, and thoughts you’ve been meaning to write. Typeletter mimics the feel of a real typewriter: clacky keys, carriage return lever, scroll knob, without any setup or sign-up. Pick your ink ribbon (Black, Red, Blue, Sepia), choose an ambience like Rain, Beach, Jazz, or Park, and just start typing from the heart. When you’re done, hit “finish” to email your note, download it as a beautiful image with wax seal stamps.

minimalist phone: creating folders
I genuinely love it, but I am not so sure whether I want to go back to that era as a writer. One mistake and you could start writing over again :D

@busmark_w_nika Hahah! Guess it's also a time when people had their own correction tape situations as well. Anyway, with this experience, I wanted to marry our ease of digital editor with typewriter effect. :)
Congrats on the launch! I gave Typeletter a try, and I found it very relaxing. It’s refreshing to see a product that focuses on meaningful writing and reflection.
I did feel there was a very slight input lag, and over time maybe it could use some more ambience options, like maybe a forest? Or the city? All in all, it’s a very nice product!

@apira_giriharan Thanks! :) Sure, will keep adding more ambient sounds. Glad to know.
that's so cute!! tried it out once, now I need me an actual typewriter haha :) congrats on the launch!
I just tried this, it was there in their newsletter. And I LOVE IT!!
Can you also add
an option to make it fullscreen so the instructions on the left vanish and we have a full typewriter on the entire screen
An option to change the sound of the keystrokes as well, right now the keys sound like I'm typing on mobile
Add a couple options to make it easier for day-to-day use rather than just something for feel-good writing, like a database that stores my writing kind of like Notion. This would make it my go-to option every single day ❤️
Browser-based “typewriter” apps hit scale pain when exporting high-res images and audio ambience cause memory spikes and jank on low-end devices.
Best practice is OffscreenCanvas for render-to-image, preloading audio with the Web Audio API and limiting concurrent buffers, plus local autosave in IndexedDB to avoid losing drafts on refresh.
How are you implementing the Time Capsule scheduled email delivery without accounts, and do you encrypt drafts or email payloads client-side to keep the no-signup privacy promise?
