When I write I make a lot of mistakes in grammar and spelling. I feel like this should at least highlight these errors as the browser does by default, but it seems it is disabled, making writing a nightmare.

It's also low signal as it doesnt seem to have many users, and the users that are there write spam. The top articles are sex ads from Pure Romance... wtf?!

Pros:

Design like Medium

Cons:

Low signal, kinda spammy, doesn't underline spelling errors

Sorry about the spam issue :) As I'm the only maker on it it's tedious to be 24/7 on it to monitor the content. I'm improving it daily so feel free to suggest me anything that could help with your experience!

What is the limitation on free plan? I couldn't get this information on website. Why should I buy pro if I get everything in free?

Are you a bad writer?

You aren't until you prove it to this community. If you write 200 words a day for one year and your writing skill doesn't improve — maybe you are not a very good writer. But until then — you can't say that you are bad or good at it.

And if you really want it, I'm sure this platform could help you become a better writer — just be consistent and keep writing and learning!

Practice. Every. Day.

Pros:

Great community. Simple interface. You write and actually improve..

Cons:

Nooooo.

About a year ago, a few friends and I started an email group where, weekly, we'd rotate picking a writing prompt from Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Writing...) and email each other our responses to the prompt. Alas, the group was short-lived as people became "busy" and forgot to submit their weekly stories. Consistency is hard, and is made even harder when the support group around it crumbles. 200WaD looks sweet, @bsamel. How does the community typically motivate each other? What do members write about? Also, can you talk about features in the Pro plan?

@laxbrownie Amazing! :) I have some feature ideas concerning writing prompts. The motivation comes from two things in my opinion: the day streak, and the public shout-outs. When you see other people post and be consistent, you want to improve too. Pro plan = private publications as of today, but I'm working on it daily so new features are coming up fast.

I'm really enjoying it so far. I've seen "writing prompt" products before, but with the low number of 200 words, this is absolutely doable. I'm enjoying it very much. Only comment so far, any chance you could swap the "days" from a rolling 24 hour period to calendar days instead?

@scott_g yes I'm gonna add a timezone support by next week that should do just that :)

@bsamel Awesome. I figured it had something to do with no set timezone. Thanks!

What's there to say? If you thought Microsoft's basic Notepad was simple, then you've never used @200WordsADay. This is the best interface I have ever seen for a word "processor." I love having the ability to give each post tags. I didn't expect it, but I love that everyone can and does see me posts. The comments are all helpful and thoughtful. We are all there for similar reasons and looking for a positive experience.

I love to support @Makers @Entrepreneurs @SmallBiz, so I upgraded to the Patron account today. I'm not sure what it changes for me, but that's just because I didn't pay attention. I know the site showed the differences.

Pros:

Easy, clean, inspiring

Cons:

Thought I was stuck in a different time zone. Ah well, I guess I should've looked in the settings sooner.

Awesome project. Not enough people understand that creativity also needs discipline. Creatives always talk about getting sudden flashes of inspiration (like moments of eureka) often describing that feeling as if there's a higher spirit taking over and giving them the power to create something. That's valid, but to get into a state where that happens you still need discipline and routine. Adding some accountability to that, especially publicly like here, helps. Even if your writing sucks, you've written that day. And even if maybe 9 out of 10 days your writing sucks, there will be one day where it doesn't. And that's the benefit of having creative discipline. It increases the possibility of sudden inspiration. Also lovely to see the public roadmap and /open page!
