Reminds me of — but made modern! Love this idea.

Oh, this is so wonderful. The world needs more thoughtful and emotive projects like this.

I feel like in the series Murder, She Wrote. 😅

This one is better; you do not have to throw out the paper when you mess up your writing.

I realised I cannot write emojis as well. But of course, I can write my boomers emojis :D

Love it!

WOW, what a fantastic promo video and storytelling! 🤩 In the world of modern apps that are often bloated with features, the commitment to focus and deep work here is amazing 👏🏼

Such an interesting project! I really enjoy the clacking sound of the typewriter, and I hope to see Chinese support soon! 😊

Thanks for trying out Retrotype!

I'm excited to release iOS + iPad versions of the app soon too - stay tuned! 👀😁

beautiful idea and followthrough

Love it, add a save document, print document function. And maybe when you reach the end of line, currently you press enter, but i you can simulate the actual typewriter head to move, it would be cool.

Omgosh, I love this.... paired with I may finally write those stories I've been meaning to create. Awesome job !
