Sorry to invade the conversation, but do you know Focus Writer? It's an open source program that I like, but I don't use it because it doesn't have auto-save. I've already lost 1K words when the power went out.
It has the “Timer” in the corner of the screen and when activated, it turns black and loses color like clockwork. When I read @still_life suggestion I immediately thought about this program.
Exemple:
Thanks for the example! And no problem with joining in on the conversation, your feedback is great!
I actually used FocusWriter for a while — it used to be my main writing software. But I use WriteRush now, of course. It was the source of much inspiration. My end goal for WriteRush is to have it be a seamless mix between StimuWrite (because of the writing effects), FocusWriter (because of how immersive and beautiful the UI is), and Scrivener (because of how useful the program is). And maybe something like Atticus far in the future (Book formatting) — but that's unlikely.
Also, thanks for adding the arrows! I find it funny that you added those. But very helpful.
Regarding the circle progress bar. I can probably add that in a future update. I'll make it an option to choose between line and circle progress bars — probably in the lower navbar like FocusWriter.
And on another note, I've been thinking of adding a hide-away interface like FocusWriter (where you put your mouse near the top or bottom to open up the menus). I'll probably add that to the next update!
Keep up the amazing suggestions!
Thanks!
I wanted to say that your “mix” is working! WriteRush has become my favorite writing program, every day I just open it and write ♥
