Thanks for the feedback, it's absolutely more work to be done on the presentation - I will explain here a bit more. We help people that want to write more to stay motivated to write daily. By comparison, we think it is sort of a fitness app where you train your writing muscle instead of your physical body.
One of the main things that I struggle with when writing is a lack of attention or the distractions that get in the way of typing more words. The area where you write is at the core of the product. It is a clean modern space that has no distractions so that you can stay completely focused. At the end of each writing session, you get achievements and stats about what you wrote. Word analysis, writing clarity, readability, and sentiment analysis of the text will be available shortly.
To keep you engaged, there are 3 goals that you should meet daily: writing words (at least 250, by default 500), a writing time (at least 30 minutes, by default 1 hour), and a score that is calculated by using your previous days' writings. Based on how much you write, you get achievements and you compete with other writers in the platform. We're putting together as I write this message a way to sign up for writing challenges, too.
Not yet fully ready, we're working on a system of notifications, where you can set a time when to be remembered to start writing so that you never miss a day.
All the content is double encrypted so it is secure and nobody can steal your ideas.
I hope that clarifies what we're doing. If you have any other questions or suggestions I would be happy to clarify.
> We live in an era where we’re all publishers, we’re all writing something because we all have easy access to a publishing platform. It doesn’t matter if it’s a book, an article, a blog, an email or a personal journal. There’s a lot of content created daily and the problem we are all facing is the noise it comes with it.
> In our vision, the first step to changing the content’s quality is to change the writing process. Yet, there’s no writing tool powerful enough to cope with this problem.
Absolutely, the text you write is encrypted using aes-256 before being stored on our servers. We're also considering allowing an option to encrypt once more with a custom password set by the writer - the problem with this custom encryption is that if you lose the password you're not able to get your words back.
The encryption key is generated dynamically and it is not stored together with the encrypted content, thus in case of any leakage the words that were written are safe. The writing is decrypted and shown decrypted only to the writer itself and our team doesn't have access to see the words you've written.
I did find it kind of amusing that their FAQ is a work in progress, makes me think the creators of this product suffer from procrastination issues too: https://www.writenext.io/faq
True about procrastination! We've been focusing more on the product itself which is after login and missed a few (maybe more) things on the presentation. We're on it, now!
While it uses a web text editor and the editing experience is important, it is far from being that.
We're focused on creating a product that helps you to write more and stay fully engaged in the writing process. Yes, it comes with goals that you can customize and some gamification elements that will help you write more than before.
Maybe I've missed something but from reading all the other comments their summary is exactly the one I wanted. What would you say are the actual features that are key which they missed?
We've looked into multiple options for displaying the writing activity and that Github like contribution chart was our favorite one. It's a neat way of showing how active you've been while doing something: writing code or writing words. :)
