I just don't know what this product does. Your messaging appeals to me but I have literally no clue what features or functionality I'm signing up for.

Agreed. Is this like Dualingo for writing? Seems interesting, but an example would be good

  Haven't thought about this similarity - it's a nice one!

I believe it is a web text editor, with built-in goals and gamification system and email notifications to reinforce those.

  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?

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 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!

    Please do! I'm scared to sign-up with all the unknowns in your "Privacy and Ownership" section.

It has a github type contributions box as well as badges for various achievements.

  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. :)

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.

  >Word analysis, writing clarity, readability, and sentiment analysis of the text will be available shortly. What languages will this support? I'm interested in Spanish, I only use English for chatting with people online and commenting on forums.
  - stefannn 6y ago
    It will have Spanish! We're starting with English, and Spanish is the next one.

      Nice, I'd think supporting many languages would be a worthy goal. This could be a nice tool for language-learners keeping study journals.
