Is this something only for people who want to start writing, and need to start building the habit to put in time every day? Or can it also be useful for people who already write?

The main issue that pops out to me is that people who write have projects (sometimes several, sometimes massive ones), and "writing" daily sometimes means much more editing/cutting than writing fresh text (I'm married to a novelist; her first book lost about five hundred pages between the first "completed" draft and the final result). Or -- writing may mean composing new text, but it's placed somewhere in a much larger work.

Last thought! Be very careful about having ability to export from the start, and be very sure you don't run out of time / hosting fees / whatever and let it die with anyone's work trapped in it.

If you are a professional writer you still might use some additional motivation or habit tracking. I have not yet put much attention into tracking number of words on bigger projects, but I definitely will.

If you don't need that sort of stuff and just want to publish fiction - I am also working on a related project - http://fictionhub.io

It is using the same platform, it's goal is to be a great place to publish high quality fiction(and, in the future, sell it as well).

And yes, I'll definitely be very careful with user data. Adding the export feature is on my todo list.
