I really like it. As a writer of novels, this is useful for those moments when I have too many doubts about how it should look. One minor feedback: deleting should be forbidden - it's a way to edit the text.

So it should be like a writing machine + the fade out effect.

Hehe, I considered that in my first prototypes. I avoid any kind of customisation like fire when it comes to Ensō, but perhaps I should change my approach after all...

My main source of inspiration was writing by hand, and then typing.

Writing by hand definitely does not allow to delete! :-)

There’re these things called erasers…

…or correction fluid (like Tipp-Ex)

...or just crossing out.

You must be kidding. Striking through the text is ridiculously easy.

So few novelists on HN! Where can I read your stuff?

I'd prefer to try to not associate my user with some personal data. But thanks for the interest!
