A couple of months ago, we revived Typetrigger, releasing this new-old app into the world again. It has been wonderful to see old members flutter back and write with us again, as well as seeing new writers who are joining for the first time. I will admit something: I was afraid that Typetrigger might not …

Write Now: Typetrigger is Back!
Hi! I’m so excited to see you again! Sit down! Have an orange, or a cookie, or a coffee or…make yourself comfortable. As I write this, I’m looking forward to the end of a pandemic, eager for the near future when I can invite friends into my home and catch up after far too long. …
Designing for Social Writing: On the Creation and Revival of Typetrigger
As I prepare to relaunch Typetrigger, I have been asked by several people why the app is designed the way it is. While my ideas about this continue to evolve (and will doubtless shift as a new cadre of writers join the community), I thought I’d take a moment to share the ideas behind it …

As long promised, we have built a little survey to collect the thoughts and feelings of our community members. We would love to hear from you about your experiences with the site as we look ahead.

Fix One: Longer Triggers
The fixes are coming in and this one is the most exciting to me. This actually can’t be properly called a fix, since there was never anything broken. When we launched Typetrigger, for reasons I cannot remember (nor comprehend) we had a 17-character limit for triggers. I know, this makes zero sense, especially since we …
Changes Big and Small
Hi. It’s Lily, the founder of Typetrigger. It’s been way too long. A lot has changed for me and for Ernie, my original TT partner, over the past eight years. Great stuff and terrible stuff, living stuff. We have had these things to tend to and neglected this project. This year we had to decide …
