Hey devs!
So, I had a free afternoon, some chaotic energy, and an old idea rattling around in my head:
What if you had to write without stopping... or lose everything you’ve typed?
That’s how nowrite.fun was born — a simple, slightly unhinged writing app where:
You set a timer (e.g. 5 minutes)
You start typing
If you pause, even briefly… 💥 your text disappears. No second chances.
Why?
I’ve always been intrigued by tools like Write or Die or the old Svečki app (RIP). I wanted to see how fast I could build a modern twist on that idea using AI copilots — GPT-4o, Claude 3.7 — and a solid web stack:
🦕 Deno + TypeScript
🧠 XState for state logic
🎉 anime.js & canvas-confetti for ✨ vibes
🚀 Hosted on Deno Deploy
What’s it for?
Quick writing sprints: blog intros, tweets, journal entries, brainstorming.
You type → you survive.
You stop → it's all gone.
Brutal, but weirdly satisfying.
Wanna support?
I launched it on Product Hunt too — it’d mean a lot if you check it out or give it an upvote ❤️
I’d love your thoughts, feature ideas, or "lol this is pure chaos" reactions.
Happy to answer any questions about the tech stack or the (admittedly unhinged) development process.
Cheers! 🙃
