https://ulysses.sonnet.io -- It's a "text input" tool I built to develop a daily writing habit and reduce stress. It makes editing text really hard so you can focus on writing first: https://sonnet.io/posts/ulysses/

So far I'm doing 800-1000 words per day on average so I'm pretty happy with it! My fluency has improved drastically.

TODO:

- I need to change the name because Ulysses is a well known writing app. (I think I'll go for homer.sonnet.io--Homer was blind, I did like the stream of consciousness aspect as it describes the UX well...) - privacy-aware analytics (or a button you can tap if you enjoy the app). I have no idea how many people are using the app at the moment. - package as a Vercel app/docker image (so you can host your own instance easily)

I'm also working on a small indie game called Mannerbomb. It's the opposite of Bomberman--you're a bomb trying to exit the level before exploding.



Ulysses is really beautiful, no distractions and just a natural flow. As a name, maybe Ensō?


Hm, that's a good idea, and it fits so well with the goal of the app, cheers!
