And, yes, the most dangerous writing app.
The idea is that it is easier to edit once done, so it is important to get everything out quickly and then go back and edit.
Edit: Someone should come up with an Atom plugin that does the same.
It doesn't delete your text, it just blurs it as you're writing. So like you said, you can get everything out on the page without self-editing.
I use it to write all of my blog posts and then export them to markdown when I'm finished and ready to publish on my static site.
Funny this comes up today because I was thinking of getting back to vim fully instead of VSCode+vim extension and used vscode as a debugger only (love the UI!).
I've never learned vim proper (started with Atom and vim-mode-plus), but I keep thinking it might be time to dive in.
I'm 100% remote and I prefer working at coffee shops, campuses (UCLA, SMCC), or libraries -- I prefer my environment to feel less like "work" and more "creative." I also get to interact with a largely diverse group of people (as opposed to mostly tech people that work at WeWork). Going to a coffee shop is also cheaper (I buy ~2 items a day), I get to meet neighbors, plug myself into my local community, and sometimes even make small talk with cute girls.
I think a good idea might be "reserving" seats at cool spots around town (coffee shops, bookstores, etc.) -- would be cheaper than a WeWork and (I think) more desireable. Think ClassPass for co-working.
Even if there are services like stripe and Auth0, as a solo developer it takes considerable time to connect all these together to get the basic functionality to actually sell things and integrate it into my product.
