I used your app to type this:

While i think the idea of free writing has it's merits, i'm unconvinced that the information should immediately published to the internet. Braindumping has a very private and personal process to it and to expose it without any sort of recourse will probably prevent new users from trying it out. There might be a place for something like this as a Wordpress plugin or similar. A tool that users could rely upon to quickly generate ideas for themselves in the comfort of their own blog and not have to worry about the impending reprocussions of not typing for a few seconds.

Overall, I think the idea is neat. Some questions come to mind. How will you make money? How will people find out about this? This is about all I can think of off the top of my head.

The look is great! I like the simple design which keep distractions away from the typing. You should checkout the recent version of Wordpress. Their "full screen" mode is actually a good example to follow here. Completely blocks EVERYTHING.

Great work, over all! :)

Fantastic. So it IS private. It doesn't look like there's any way to view it when you're not logged in. Unsure if other users could see it, however. Either way, Great work!
