Flowing Water & Red Snow - June themes now on Patreon

Thank you so much to all the patrons for another month of support! There are two brand new themes on the patreon page for all paid tier members, each with custom video backgrounds!

Flowing Water (Exclusive)

Take a dip in this calming and cooling theme for those of us who are currently experiencing Summer--or wish they were! This light theme features an animated writing panel and very slow video background.

Red Snow (Early Access)

From an upcoming theme pack based on color filtered landscapes comes: Red Snow! This theme is perfect for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere who are currently experiencing Winter--or anyone who wants to feel a unique winter vibe! This dark theme features a red filtered video background of a snowy forest, and a computer terminal-like feel. It's perfect for writers who like to write in absolute darkness.

So far only one patron in the Wordsmith Tier has suggested theme ideas for the Q3 theme! If you are a patron, please log on and comment on the post <3

Reminder: The theme idea can be anything, it doesn't have to be season-related

Small patreon update: New benefits available to Writer and Wordsmith tiers!!

Members in the Writer and Wordsmith tier can now vote on The Theme of the Season! The theme of the season is a quarterly theme created from the ideas of the community. The poll will go out some time next month after I've collected enough suggestions.

Wordsmith (and Legendary) tier members can now suggest theme ideas! Look in your feed for the post to comment your idea to be potentially voted on for creation.

Thank you all so much for your support, you help keep StimuWrite going <3

Update 2.4.1 - A new font, bug fixes, and Hall of Fame update!

A small update this month, but lots of exciting changes are being worked on in the background. Stay tuned!

New

Added Atkinson Hyperlegible font

Added march patrons to the Hall of Fame credits section in About :)

Bug fixes 

Fixed bug where background would incorrectly switch to theme bg during certain actions

Fixed bug where TypingSound volume would not update when Overlapping typing sounds were turned off

Fixed bug where reinstalled theme would auto-select on program load

You can find the latest version on my itchio page. The easiest way to keep StimuWrite up to date automatically is to download and launch it through the itcio app.

And I wanted to give a HUGE thank you to all of the new patrons on the new StimuWrite Patreon. I have been totally blown away by the support I've received in the first month, it exceeded my expectations. You all make these free updates (big and small) possible, and I'm endlessly grateful.

Hi I love stimuwrite for writing my fanfics since I have issues with my attention span with digital writing, I would love to have it on my tablet so I can write more comfortably. When will there be a android version?

I'm so glad it's helped you!

As for an android version: unfortunately, this (and an iOS version) is no longer in active development due to the many many roadblocks I came across in Godot. Likely for it to work well enough for it to be usable on those platforms I will have to build an entirely new app from the ground up.

This is something I'd love to do one day, but don't really have the bandwidth for at the moment. I'm hopeful that the patreon will continue to grow, and if it becomes a significant portion of my income, I will have the time to focus my efforts toward it.

FYI StimuWrite is made entirely by me, Eve, a trans woman! I hope everyone has a safe and happy trans day of visibility <3

Good morning. Introducing: Tpyo the Typo! She's another StimuWrite mascot who is friends with Wordy the Word "Word"

[stimuwrite]

Good morning. Wordy, The Word "Word" has a message for you today

[arkham]

"they should teach media literacy in schools" english class "they should teach students how to spot misinformation" it's english class "they should teach kids critical thinking" it's called english class

[stimuwrite]

Year over year they defunded the humanities and put the money towards STEM, and look where it got us!!

[stimuwrite]

What if StimuWrite had a mascot who was an anthropomorphic word, specifically the word "word". Their name could be: Wordy, the Word "Word"

[stimuwrite]

Wordy The Word "Word" is real now

Hundreds of you have told me how much StimuWrite has helped you, and for months I've been working hard to find a way I can continue to develop it to be the best writing app for neurodivergent people and keep it free for everyone. Yesterday, that culminated in hitting publish on the new Patreon page!

With patreon support, I'll be able to regularly release themes, add-ons, content, and free updates to StimuWrite. This month, I've released two new themes for patrons, and have an exciting addon ready for next months rewards.

For just $5/month you'll get 1 or 2 new themes and/or addons each month

If you have the extra cash & want to contribute more, there are 2 other membership levels that will give you all of the pre-patreon content & a more prominent place in the credits. If you can't afford it, that's totally okay! The base app is free forever and I'll continue to add features for you.

have SO much cool stuff lined up and planned, and if you can afford it, I hope you'll go on this journey with me. I'm endlessly grateful for the kind words and donations in the past, and humbled by how many words this little app has helped people write. Long live StimuWrite!

BIG THANK YOU to every one who has joined the patreon so far!!! The launch was a success!! I'm jazzed, and very excited about the updates I'm cooking up. Names will be added to the app credits in the beginning of next month, so if you want to be included in the next update there's still time :D

I’m in love with StimuWrite

I managed to write over 800 words today!!

And, okay, that doesn’t sound like a lot—until you take into account that I haven’t written anything significant since probably July.

Yay for StimuWrite!!!
