I noticed a major problem. If I just keep writing in a single paragraph, the lines don't disappear. I was expecting it to automatically start fading the text once it reached 3-4 lines. As it is, I am afraid of adding new paragraphs because then I would 'lose' what I already wrote.
Edit: adding, it's also surprisingly... slow? I noticed some lag as I moved my mouse around. I don't know if it's because of the website or my browser (firefox) or my OS (Ubuntu) but I don't believe there's any reason for lag here so something should be fixed.
My autocorrect also didn't work. I did get the red squiggles on a misspelling but no suggestions on right click. Again, not sure if it's something wrong with the website or something with my setup (it works fine on other sites).

I must say, I find the experience curious to say the least. It prompted me to write something, and I immediately got frustrated that my text was gone, followed by a feeling of "well, it was ephemeral anyway" and then finding the reader mode and say "hmmm, does that take away from the experience?". In any case, I might come back to this every now and then, nice work.

Fun! I came up with a similar concept - except you can only type in one word at a time. It discourages self-editing while also not being as extreme as exploding text.

ちなみに、日本語のバージョンでイタリック体の漢字と仮名があることに気づきましたが、それが普段ですか？僕は日本語が下手ですが、日本語でイタリック体の字があまり使われていないと聞いたことがあるだけです。でも、やはり実践にそうじゃないですか？

Is it just me or is it weird to promote a writing app with an obviously LLM-written post.
