| Ha, this is so cool! I'm working on a very similar problem atm: https://ulysses.sonnet.io/ My approach is slightly different though: - you can see the previous lines (the last 4 lines of text), i.e. they don't fade, so you can still keep some context - you cannot select, edit (the UX makes it hard). I'm still working on making the UX around it more explicit, curious to hear feedback. There are several reasons for that (or use cases): - I use it to foster a better writing habit - During the day, I keep it on split screen and write to organise my thoughts when I work on more complex problems - I use it as a diary (and paste the text to the Notes app) Do you use it in a similar manner? Did working on the app change your writing habits in any way? The reason I ask is because in my case writing this way feels somehow more natural. I ended up writing 800 words per day on average (with spikes to 2-3k). Also, I'm following the same `div.fade` approach to mask text in my app. The main reason for that was incorrect colour correction/mixing on Firefox (banding or shifting the colour by 1 point). PS. I'll send over some of the apps here to my partner (a writer) and see which one suits her needs better. I'll let you know if I get any feedback. |
