Note and writing apps

A (weird-at-first!) free tool to help you write more productively by preventing you from editing as you go. Instead, get your first draft written as quickly as possible. Once you have a first draft, you can then edit and refine it as you like.

I've created this free tool as a way to help people write more productively. If you're like me, you edit too much. It's not a good use of time. Instead, you're better off getting a first draft down as quickly as possible, then refining it from there. This tool helps you do just that. It does a couple of things: 1) It prevents you from editing anything – you can't go back and delete or modify words or characters. 2) It hides what you've already written. So if there are mistakes, you won't linger on them or fret about them. All in all, it gets you to your first draft faster. Once you've got your first draft written, you can export it to another tool to edit and improve it. Give it a try! It seems weird at first but can be super useful!

@hamza_afzal_butt Thanks Hamza. Great suggestions! The tool doesn't have those things at the moment but I could see them being useful.

Great tool, What i would say is that to bring an paid feature where users can finalise them by ai. ( multiple variations) And let them copy that to clipboard

Congrats on the launch @mattcollinsuk. I'm curious - how did you come up with this approach? Was there any specific insight or feedback that led to it?

@ashitvora Thanks Ashit! The initial inspiration was that I was looking for things to build to help promote my wife's writing coaching business and asked Claude.ai to tell me what problems writers commonly face. This was one of the things Claude mentioned: "I keep editing as I write, and it's taking me forever to make progress. I'll spend an entire writing session perfecting one paragraph."
