Ask HN: What projects are you working on now?
I'm making a new tool for writers. With it, you'll be able to write your essays on "layers"<p>The problem? Tweets are easier to read than long-form essays, as they require less time commitment. If the content is not good on a long-form article, you'll find out way too late. With this tool I'm developing:<p>Layer 1 is the shortest version of your essay, the 1 min read — like a tweet. The idea boiled down to the shortest version<p>Layer 2 is the same text from layer 1, but with extras added here and there. What's already read by you is in black ink. What's new is in blue ink. This is the 2 min read version<p>Layer 3 shows everything from Layer 1 and 2 in black ink, but what's new is now in blue ink. and you keep doing that until you get to the full version.<p>I can post some screenshots here of my mockups, as I'm a designer. PM me if you find this intriguing!<p>——<p>Edit: Since people are showing interest, here's how I see it happening — <a href="https://invis.io/GQWINO2YKU2#/410298082_1_Min_Verison" rel="nofollow">https://invis.io/GQWINO2YKU2#/410298082_1_Min_Verison</a><p>The first thing that you see is the first layer (1 min version). Go right for 3 and 5 min version!<p>——<p>Edit 2: since I'm seeing the upvotes and the emails, I quickly made this sign-up form for the people who want to be updated when the  product is done: <a href="https://layered-ink.webflow.io/" rel="nofollow">https://layered-ink.webflow.io/</a><p>I would put up the <a href="https://layered.ink" rel="nofollow">https://layered.ink</a> link but the domain hasn't been propagated yet.<p>@Admins — please do let me know if this is not permitted so I can take it down. Apologies if so.
