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.
