I like the idea and love the simplicity. Not sure if I would benefit from not looking and editing as I write as I tend to do that all the time, but I'm going to try it with this and see how it pans out.

Great job!

Thanks MrAwesomeSauce! Do let me know if you have any feedback from this :)

I found that I had the best success getting my thoughts down on the paper when I told myself not to look back and edit. So I decided to do an experiment and made a mini-webapp to do this.

In the app, you can only see the current line you are typing, and you are allowed three backspaces at a time (combinations are allowed).

There's also a visual of blurred text in the background to help you feel like you are achieving some progress.

This was just a fun experiment, but I wanted to get some feedback to see if people actually would want to use this sort of thing.

Dunno man, kinda seems like you should have made this trustless, distributed, anonymous and immutable.

Haha, ICO incoming.

I can edit if I type 1, backspace 3, type 1 backspace 3 and so on.

But I don't like this whole thing of never editing, never looking back, move forward and break things anyway.

Yeah, that was intentional. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I just want to say that it's not that you never edit. The point is just to get your thoughts down on the page first.

I used this to write my first book and it took 48 hours. And then I spent months editing it before I published it.

Not a fan really, what if you are interrupted while writing and have to look back?
