I like this a lot! The sounds don't really work with my typing speed; I wonder if it'd be worth including an option to only make a noise every fourth or fifth keystroke. Love it though.
First off, I really love this - this is helping me so much with focus and productivity.
Second, I've noticed a few bugs:
On my work PC (but not my personal PC?), all the animated backgrounds flicker/blink briefly whenever the animation loops, which is distracting enough that I can only use the static ones.
The word counter does not count new rows as a separation of words, which makes the wordcount inaccurate for the format I often have to use for work (see picture for an example).
I like the celebratory burst of emoji when you hit 100%, but it only does this the first time you hit 100% - and my work often involves batches of shorter texts, so I only get it for the first of my texts.
Overall an excellent program, though - thank you so much for this.
Hi! I actually just uploaded a new version that should fix the flickering issue, please give it a try and let me know if it solved the problem for you :)
Hi! This is a great idea, I'm excited to try it out! I wonder if there's room for implementing a timer of some kind - I know sprints and deadlines can be motivating, so that might be a nice feature to add down the line (if you plan for further dev ofc.) Will definitely be sharing with other writer friends, thank you again!
This is neat! A great idea. I'm going to give it a try.
I noticed there's a bit of a visible cut when the coffee shop background loops and I'm not sure how I feel about the hearts and other emojis yet but I'm going to give it time and see if it grows on me. :)
Hello there! That file extension should be executable on 64bit linux machines. Maybe I need to make a 32 bit build? What error message do you get when you try to execute it, and what version of linux are you running?
I'm using the itch.io desktop app and it says "No manager for installer unknown". In the stack trace it says "no mapping for file extension .86_64". I'm running Pop!OS 64-bit:
$ lspcu
Architecture: x86_64
CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit
It worked when I manually downloaded + made executable. I usually install via the desktop app to have automatic updates but I expect you won't be making updates as frequently as games do so it should be all right. Thanks!

This is helpful, thank you! Do you mind sharing your system information on the computer that has the flickering issue?
Is this what you need? (am not a tech expert)
Thank you, that's really helpful! If you don't mind also including your graphics card info that would be great. You can find that here https://www.windowscentral.com/how-determine-graphics-card-windows-10
Looks like it's Intel HD Graphics 4600.

It works, thank you!!
Love this, but I would love an option to tone down the emojis just a tiny bit. Fantastic work and absurdly helpful
Thank you for the feedback!
hello! I just released version 2 of StimuWrite and it has the ability to tone down or turn off the emojis
the progress bar helpful fr !!

Are you going to develop a web version for Chrome OS ?
I am looking into this!
Hello! The Linux file is downloading as extension "x86-64" so it can't open. Is it supposed to be a .deb, .tar.gz, .appimage...? Thank you!

Maybe you have to make the file executable? I found a site with a guide on how to do that, please let me know if it works https://linuxhint.com/make-file-executable-linux/

Thank you! I will make sure that version 2 is set up with itchio's butler so that installation and updates are smooth.
I can't open it on my Macbook because Apple says the app can't be checked for malicious software. Is there anything you can do to fix this?
Try this:
You can find more info on the apple website here. I hope that helps!
When this happens, you can also go into your Security and Privacy settings and there will be an option to allow the program to open!
