Hey everyone! I've just published a beta of my new app for writers -
It's a simple tool meant to help writers to develop a daily writing habit, achieve their writing goals, and track their progress.
If you're interested in this sort of thing - it'd be really awesome if you could check it out and let me know what you think. I'm looking for any feedback, first impressions, your thoughts on what could be better.
@rayalez I'd do something to make the writing box stand out a bit more. I missed it the first once over of the site. Is there an option for downloading data once it's saved to the server? Lot of folks will want that.
I understand not wanting the calendar bar to start on today, so folks can see their progress. But with today all the way on the write, my progress for today is off the screen, which is a bit annoying.
@jessmahler Thank you so much for your feedback!
I'll try to make the writing box stand out.
Data can be exported from main menu. Currently as a text file, but I'm planning to add different formats and features(like exporting only some of the days)
I'm not sure what you mean about the calendar bar, it's supposed to automatically focus on today by default. Did that not work for you or do you mean something else?
You're definitely right about the intro page, I'll try to make onboarding easier
@rayalez Sorry I wasn't clear about the calendar--no it wasn't focused on today, it had today all the way to the right of the screen.
@rayalez
Last thought is you might want to have a shorter intro page with a link to "more info on features. That's a LOT of text to throw at someone as soon as they arrive on your site.
App itself seems to work well, does what it says on the tin, and the minimalist design will appeal to a lot of folks.
