Show HN: Morning Mill – Mac app to focus on writing 1000 words each day
- jackhoge 10y agoI made Morning Mill because I wanted a very, very lightweight tool to help me focus on writing 1000 words per day. I use Ulysses and Medium drafts, but neither is as fast or as lightweight as I wanted for just making the first pass of my writing. So I built this. :-) It's also my first OSX app. I used Electron, which was a great experience -- this first version just took a couple of hours to design and build.
- pfista 10y ago1000 pages per day?
- jackhoge 10y agoHahaha, good catch, thanks. :-) Hmm, but then again...
- kristianp 10y agoFrom the Medium page: "Every day, your content is gone and you’ve gotta start fresh. That’s the whole point. I’d like to say this is an intentional feature, but really I just left it out because I’ve only worked on Morning Mill for about four hours." I found that amusing and audacious!
- jackhoge 10y agoHaha, it's not as extreme as it sounds though -- you just gotta copy and paste it somewhere more permanent when you're done! :P Didn't want to build anything to store or manage your writing -- that's way more involved, plus there are plenty of great tools for that.
