Wow thanks, I'd give you 10 upvotes if I could. Honestly I think these points are fairly generic and not that surprising given the current discourse re work-life balance. It's not a secret that writing can be therapeutic and the usual problem statements revolve around: focus, structure, space.

My focus is to help you structure your thoughts by writing in a manner that's inherently unstructured or linear (literally a stream of consciousness). I don't care about organising your projects or text.
The previous prototype would not even allow you to read your notes for 2-3 days. It'd take them hostage and send to your email.

I mean the mental space.
Although similar phrases are used, their meaning is vastly different.
The idea for the app came from:
- the need to improve my writing fluency and fight anxiety
- I was inspired by the writing process of a certain author/blogger: dim the screen so I can barely see any text and focus on writing (I lost her/his name—if you now them, please let me know)
- Mihály Csíkszentmihályi and the concept of flow, burnout
I blame myself for not being creative enough wrt wording, but not for being repetitive in terms of product. I takes 5s spent with each app to realise how different they are. I didn't convey the problem I intend to solve well, so this needs to be redone.
