What languages will this support? I'm interested in Spanish, I only use English for chatting with people online and commenting on forums.
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.
This is a good idea, we tend to focus a lot on consumption (e.g. Audible), but something to help focus on production of content would benefit people.
That is one of the core reasons we started WriteNext. Here is the blog post we wrote before doing any work on the product: https://blog.writenext.io/your-writing-facilitator/.
> We live in an era where we’re all publishers, we’re all writing something because we all have easy access to a publishing platform. It doesn’t matter if it’s a book, an article, a blog, an email or a personal journal. There’s a lot of content created daily and the problem we are all facing is the noise it comes with it.
> In our vision, the first step to changing the content’s quality is to change the writing process. Yet, there’s no writing tool powerful enough to cope with this problem.
Can you explain more about the encryption process?
Absolutely, the text you write is encrypted using aes-256 before being stored on our servers. We're also considering allowing an option to encrypt once more with a custom password set by the writer - the problem with this custom encryption is that if you lose the password you're not able to get your words back.
Where is the encryption key? Is it possible for WriteNext to access the writing?
The encryption key is generated dynamically and it is not stored together with the encrypted content, thus in case of any leakage the words that were written are safe. The writing is decrypted and shown decrypted only to the writer itself and our team doesn't have access to see the words you've written.
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.
