BlankPage

A SaaS that helped aspiring authors finish their first manuscript, using habit-building triggers borrowed from game design.

BlankPage used motivational psychology I borrowed from games to help people build the habit of writing daily. It reached seventeen thousand writers and a couple of hundred active users, was featured on Product Hunt a week before PH officially launched in 2014, and became one of the early Indie Hackers interviews.

It never became financially stable, and I regretfully sunsetted the project in 2019. The name lives on as a writing inspiration service.

I wrote about the whole arc on the blog: the BlankPage story.
