Ever find yourself deleting whatever you write as soon as you type it out? I certainly do.
This app aims to solve that by disabling all the delete functions (backspace, delete key, Ctrl+x) in its editor. Anything you write will stay there, giving it the kind of permanence akin to writing with a pen on paper.
The goal isn't to get perfect, typo-free writing on the first try, but rather to be accepting of flaws, so you can focus on getting the ideas down first, and only then do some editing in a later pass.
digital paper is now available as an Obsidian plugin!
Once you've cloned the repository and installed dependencies with npm install
(or pnpm install
or yarn
), start a development server:
npm run dev
# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
npm run dev -- --open
To create a production version of Digital Paper:
npm run build
You can preview the production build with npm run preview
.
Digital Paper: No more hitting backspace or undo, like pen on paper!
