And, yes, the most dangerous writing app.
The idea is that it is easier to edit once done, so it is important to get everything out quickly and then go back and edit.
Edit: Someone should come up with an Atom plugin that does the same.
Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead
Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to writingstreak.io. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.
It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.
It doesn't delete your text, it just blurs it as you're writing. So like you said, you can get everything out on the page without self-editing.
I use it to write all of my blog posts and then export them to markdown when I'm finished and ready to publish on my static site.
How to get started making an Atom plugin? Would love to collaborate w/you or others
I think this is a great resource:
https://github.blog/2016-08-19-building-your-first-atom-plug...
And I also notice there are a bunch of plug ins for writers out there (organizational, word count, outline your .md document and so forth).
I don't think I can spearhead the effort. My impression is an experienced Atom developer could knock it out in 12 hours (2 to build and debug it, 2 hours to fix complaints, and 8 hours to make it right after a few weeks). <- this guess is based on absolutely nothing other than a wild guess.
