my session:
so i've been trying to use this dangerous writing application for like 10 minutes now and it's been a valuable source of inspiration and a little bit of stress as well. i know that if i stop writing the whole text will be lost and because of that, i am constantly forced to keep writing whatever comes to my mind, and since nothing is coming to my mind right now, i am writing about this very same writing process that is unfolding as i go. i have just stalled a bit and the text started to blur which startled me a little bit and i found the red+blurry effect quite amusing. i believe they have used the red color because it usually means danger/blood stuff for us human beings. i can write very slowly and it doesn't blur, so it's not linked to typing speed. you just need to be consistent and don't stop for too much.
i believe this kind of tool is amusing but i am a little worried about what kind of usage would i get from this in a coding endeavour like developing a system or something. i surely have to stop for several minutes at a time to think about solutions or designs for my code and having it wipe out everything if i stall surely sounds counterproductive, altough i wouldn't know until i actually tried. maybe if the code was wiped out the design would still be in my head and i'd be able to write it down again in a more concise (and revised) manner, potentially improving my structure and forcing me to rethink about everytime it gets wiped out... so yeah, there is a big chance this might even surprise me as a tool to be used in a coding environment. still, the idea sounds really silly, specially when you consider huge files. maybe it could wipe out since your last git commit
