Hey PH 👋

I'm Brian. I built Mornings in two days — from planning to launch — because I needed it.

For years I've kept a writing hobby. Notes, Notion, whatever was open. Just clearing the cache in my head. But the "for me" pages always ended up next to meeting notes and PRDs, and I'd open the app to write something private and get pulled back into work. The container was wrong.

I wanted one page on the internet with no work on it. No notifications, no AI, no feed. Just somewhere quiet to show up and write 750 words.

I used 750words.com for years and loved it. It still works — go use it. I wondered what it would look like if it were built today, so I built that.

It's mine first. It's my morning pages, my diary, and whatever else I need it to be on a given day. There are no rules. If it's useful to you too, that's a bonus.

It's free. I have no plans to monetise it. I have a day job at AhaSlides; this is the thing I build in the evenings because I enjoy building things I use every day.

A few things I'm playing with for later, all optional:

— themes

— an immersive MP mode: no backspace, no leaving the tab until you hit 8 weeks, auto-burn the page when you close it. The idea is to simulate writing by hand in a notebook — the part of MP that screens quietly was killed.

If you used 750words.com, I'd love to hear: what did you expect here that you didn't find?

And to Buster, if you see this — thank you. This is a love letter.
