## What it is
A web-based writing application that deletes all your progress if you stop typing for more than five seconds, designed to force writers into a state of flow. It is the original open-source version of the app, now also maintained by Squibler.

## Use cases
- overcome writer's block with forced free writing
- write without stopping to edit
- practice writing in a flow state
- timed writing sprints under pressure
- draft first drafts quickly without self-censoring

## When to choose
- you want a pressure-based tool to silence your inner editor and keep typing
- you need a simple, free, browser-based writing sprint tool with no signup

## When to avoid
- you need to save drafts reliably or work intermittently with pauses
- you require rich formatting, collaboration, or long-form document management

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: editor, web-framework
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, text-editors
- platform: browser
- tags: writing-app, flow-state, productivity-tool, free-writing, deletes-progress, web-server, javascript
