Update V.3.0 (Major Update)
Hey! I made a LOT of changes to WriteRush! I'm really excited to show them to you, they took quite a while. Here they are:
Major Additions:
- Added the “exclude” feature, so you can exclude a number of words from the word count/word goal. It’s really nice!
- Updated the UI
- Added Daily Streaks!
- Notes section! Hit the "☰" button to open this. It's a sidebar in which you can keep notes!
- Improved the Quick-Access bar. It looks REALLY good now!
- Added "Session Writing Time" and "Today's Writing Time"
- Added a Readability score to “Data” (which took a really long time to implement)
- Made a menu that pops up at the start
Other Improvements/Additions:
- Made it so you can customize how much the quick-add goal button increases by. (So, instead of being “Goal +500”, you can change how much it increases by!)
- Optimized CSS (You won’t notice any difference, but this makes development easier)
- Made the menus more mobile-friendly
- Made the textbox more mobile-friendly
- Heavily optimized some code
- Made the textbox sizing more adaptive and in general better
- Made menus better
- Changed the fullscreen button icon
- Increased performance
- Added the “fast sounds” option, which makes typing sounds run faster but sound worse.
- Added warning to “Reset Settings”
- Updated the initial text for the text boxes
- Changed how inputs and selections look
- Changed the default goal quick-add from 500 to 100.
- Updated the “WriteRush” menu. Added different sections to it.
- Added sound that plays when you reach your writing goal.
- Added character count with no spaces in “Data”
- Made the background of the scrollbars match the background color (they look nicer)
- Made the scrollbars thinner
- Made “Longest Continual Streak” be for the day, not just the session
- Made the textbox more square and less rounded
I definitely forgot a lot of the things I added (haha). But anyway, I hope you enjoy this update! I had a ton of fun making it!
Thanks for supporting WriteRush!
