What is No Write?
No Write is a minimalist browser-based writing game where the only rule is: don’t stop typing. You're given a timer. It ticks down as long as you’re typing. Stop — even for a few seconds — and the countdown freezes. Wait a little too long? Game over.
Problem
Users struggle to maintain continuous typing momentum, leading to distraction and incomplete drafts. The drawback is don’t stop typing requirement, where pauses freeze progress and prolonged stops end the session.
Solution

Unique Features
