Hi, thank you for the comment. For "I don’t see why you wouldn’t just do it in any semi-competent text editor", I have explanation. I used to write with Pages (text editor) with my MacBook. After doing it for almost half year, I found that it is quite inconvenient. First, it is not private since my wife will use my computer so she mights see those files contains my private thoughts. This makes me unable to let go of myself while I am writing. Secondly, after saving hundreds of files, I found it is hard to navigate and review the journals I've written in the past. Of cause, there is something called Evernote, but there's no word counter. Then I realized I need something better, or at least suitable for my need, so I built this app. I don't know if anyone will use, but I know I will use it everyday myself. Haha.

Did you look at Draft or Notion? I’d encourage you to give them a look (if only to see what your competitors look like) To the points you mentioned above (word counter, privacy, etc)… I do a similar exercise, but using Draft (https://draftin.com https://draftin.com). Draft has a word counter, and is private. Another option I’ve been exploring for this type of exercise is Notion (notion.so). The nice thing about Notion is it can replace Evernote, Draft, and Trello for me, is private, and works on desktop (native), web, and mobile (native). You can also create a calendar view where you can see your progress building your Seinfeld chain of consecutive days of writing. Anyway… Congrats on launching! Now the real work begins. :)
