Mostly hunted this because it belongs in my "unnecessary" collection - but also I'm interested to see what people think. Useful or a complete waste of engineering resources?

Love this. When writing, one of my favorite quotes to remember is "writers block is fear of being judged" I often find myself stopping and worrying about a word ("will people hate me for this? do I sound dumb?"), when really I should just keep writing and come back to it later.

@mscccc "Writers block is fear of being judged" ... unbearably accurate. Over the course of 15 minute, Flowstate deactivates the censorship parts of your brain. We feel it's the key to honest, integral, personal writing.

Wonderful idea. I'd love to try this, but not sure I want to spend $14,99 on it when I don't know if I'd actually use it.

@nielsify Follow your heart. Also you can request a refund from Apple if it's bollocks.

I just had an anxiety attack watching the examples on your site. Can you tweak the 5 seconds or is that a permanent setting?

@kenrossi The exact value of seconds to nothing (STN) was honed over years of testing, and will remain adamantine for the foreseeable future. Thankfully there are other things to tweak, such as flow session length, choice of font, and the patience of Uber drivers.

Hm. Definitely terrifying, but I like it. The ultimate accountability. How much time does it give me between stopping to type and deleting everything? Is there a delay?

@niklasgoeke 6-ish seconds. We don't think it's healthy to overthink the specifics / numerical values. You must feel it, like breathing.
