Question 1

What makes WriteForward different from other writing apps?

Accepted Answer

WriteForward progressively hides your previous paragraphs as you write more, keeping only your last 2 paragraphs visible. This prevents endless editing cycles during the drafting phase while maintaining context. Unlike apps that delete your work or lock you in, WriteForward preserves all your text and lets you pause anytime.

Question 2

How does WriteForward compare to The Most Dangerous Writing App?

Accepted Answer

WriteForward offers a gentler approach to focused writing. While The Most Dangerous Writing App deletes your text if you stop typing, WriteForward simply hides previous paragraphs from view. Your work is continuously auto-saved and never at risk of deletion. You can pause anytime without losing progress.

Question 3

Is WriteForward good for academic writing and essays?

Accepted Answer

Yes! WriteForward is excellent for academic writing, essays, research papers, and thesis drafting. Set a word count goal and focus on getting your first draft done without getting stuck editing the introduction. The progressive paragraph hiding helps you maintain forward momentum through long writing projects.

Question 4

Can I access my previous paragraphs while writing?

Accepted Answer

You can see your last 2 paragraphs at all times for context. Older paragraphs are hidden during the writing phase to prevent editing, but once you complete your goal, you get access to your entire text for copying, downloading, or editing elsewhere.

Question 5

Do I need to create an account to use WriteForward?

Accepted Answer

No account or sign-up required. WriteForward works entirely in your browser using local storage. Your writing stays private on your device and is never sent to any server. You can use it immediately and anonymously.

Question 6

What happens if my browser crashes while writing?

Accepted Answer

WriteForward auto-saves your work continuously as you type. If your browser crashes or you accidentally close the tab, WriteForward will offer to recover your session when you return. You can also manually export your session at any time to save your progress as a file.
