‘Writer.is’ is a website that host daily journals, complete with a text typing effect, that recreates the writer’s composition one letter at a time.

Anyone can use Writer.is, either as a writer or reader. To create a journal, users  make a profile and then choose a title and background image for their project. Then, they are encouraged to update their journal daily. Readers simply select a journal and it opens on a separate page. The story appears gradually, one character at a time at the speed it was written, with the cursor flashing in the pauses between words.

I mention it for a couple of reasons:

1. You may wish to create your own blog on this platform.

2. There may be other applications for this ‘view it as it was created’ approach.
