Write Invisible helps writers be in the zone and get into a flow state. You write but cannot see what you are writing. That is the quickest way to first drafts.
I canβt tell if I love or hate this. πAs someone that likes to force words into submission it would be hard to use but it would significantly speed up my first drafts.
@dawn_veltri1 - "The only kind of writing is rewriting" - Hemingway. Write Invisible works only because it values rewriting. Writing easily in Write Invisible takes a few attempts and for some it becomes the preferred way to write. For others not. Hope you use Write Invisible, it might be a fit for you.
@dawn_veltri1 - let me know if you run into any problems.

This is going to be a real productivity booster. I type fast but badly, and cannot resist stopping to correct my typos. But if I can't see them...
Tried it, bought it, using it. Thanks!
Hello Product Hunters! π
Write Invisible removes the ability to self-correct your writing.
It works for three reasons:
βοΈ 1. Daily Small Wins
Write Invisible helps writers write everyday through reminders and streaks. The default writing page send you a congratulatory message after one minute. The page is called "stupid small wins" because these gains stack up.
π― 2. Flowstate / In The Zone
Less editing means more concentrating. At the start the feeling can be a disorientating. (Remember we dealing with decades of socialization around how one writes). But, soon you will immersed in writing and making connections.
βπ½ 3. First drafts... that is all
Write Invisible helps to make produce first drafts. That is all. But it is a super power. You not twiddling with blank page, you are re-writing and editing a first draft. FYI - we are not Grammerly.
π§ Roadmap
In 2022, Write Invisible will focus on:
π 1. Reverse engineering writing
Professional writers now that you often do not write in the way you read. Write Invisible has developed a template for an about page that asks a set of questions. It then compiles your answers into a structure. We have an example for an About Page here. We want to make writing sales pages, blog posts and even op-eds easier for non-writers
π 2. Improving streaks and gamification
There is a basic gamification engine that will be improved. The plan is to create goal orientated missions, like writing an about page, or creating a sales page. Badges and streaks that fight the inattention machine that is Internet.
π₯ 3. User feedback
Reverse engineering writing and improving gamification are ideas our current users value. New users will provide new ideas and we are open to understanding why this or that idea would work.
Lifetime Offer
TLDR - $7 for lifetime access for 48 hours. No catches. No BS. Ends 23 November 2021.
About me
My name is Ebrahim-Khalil Hassen. I am a writer with a fancy title of public policy analyst. I guess with this launch I am officially a maker. As a newly minted maker, let me tell you - I eat my own dog food. :)
I must enjoy the dog food because I have eating it since 2017. It all started with writing my MA dissertation. I was stuck. Academic writing is difficult for me. So with a little CSS I turned a traditional form into an extreme distraction free editor. It worked and I met the deadline.
Amazingly, the Web Archive still has the original copy available. Even the invisible mode works.
It was originally called Eishapp - which my fellow South Africans will understand.
Thanks
Huge thanks to WIP, Makerlog, Ramadan Makers, WPGuys and especially beta testers (especially Zahir). Feedback and encouragement appreciated.
My family who let me work a couple of days on this. β€οΈ
Everything happening today. I have added a demo video to answer some questions. I hope I sound OK. Someone should build Video Invisible :)

Congrats on the launch!
I wish I'd had this kind of a tool when I was a writer, it would have helped me get past that initial barrier and get to just writing that much quicker!
