[HN Gopher] Show HN: Write 500 Words a Day ___________________________________________________________________ Show HN: Write 500 Words a Day Hello! I made a web application for my friend and I to use as part of a New Year's resolution and decided to open it up to the public. It's pretty simple but I've really enjoyed building it and using it so far. I've written ~10,000 words, which is a lot more than I used to write. Enjoy and be nice!
