Hey, this is Abishek! I'm a solo immigrant founder from Sri Lanka, living in the US. This is my very first SaaS project, all thanks to my girlfriend who is a hobbyist writer. After seeing my commit calendar on Github, she wished she had something similar, but for her hobby writing that she's writing with Google Docs. So I built Quillcap in a month. Using it has improved her writing so much, and made her form a daily hobby habit that she can't let go, and I figured there's other writers who want the same thing. So I'm releasing it everyone. For free. I love making stuff that helps people, and that is my life's purpose.

@eliasstravik thank you man ๐Ÿฅน

Very cool tool! I really like the idea of tracking writing progress with Github to build consistency. Writing can inherently be a pretty lonely activity, so anything to make it more social and shareable is a big improvement. I'd love to see Quillcap expand to more writing tools! โœ’๏ธ
Abishek
@olive_haus thanks olive! So happy you love it! I appreciate your consistent support!

@abishek_gomes Interesting idea. I do a lot of my daily writing on Google Docs. I'm surely going to try this out.
Abishek
@tanoy27 thank you tanoy! Please let me know if I can do anything to make it better
Jorge Medina
congrats on the launch Abishek! this is cool! are you planning on integrating other writing tools? :)
Abishek
@thejorgemedina yes for sure will! Which would you like next?
Jorge Medina
@abishek_gomes i'm thinking Notion would be a good one. I think there are lots of writers using it as their ops base. But it couldn't just read 1 page. They create like Books databases that then have relations to the Chapters database. That would increse the complexity on your end. But food for thought ๐Ÿ˜Š
Abishek
@thejorgemedina gotcha, yeah I know a ton of folks use notion, I will definitely check it out!
Nonthakon Jitchiranant
Hi abishek! This looks amazing, I gotta try it out :) Do you have any plan on release it on another writing apps?
Abishek
@nonthakon Non! Thank you so much! Yep I plan to integrate other writing apps, even blog sites :)
Elias Strรฅvik
It was super fun to try out Quillcap โ€“ loved the "Github calendar" view, I can imagine it's super useful to writers to stay motivated day after day ๐Ÿ‘
Abishek
@eliasstravik I'm glad it worked well for you Elias! Also really appreciate your support from Day 1!
Andres Olarte
This looks pretty nice for the writers of the future! Probably could be a good idea in the near future to add AI suggestions for the book, but for now good luck in the launch!
Abishek
@andresolarte thanks a bunch Andres :)
Nathan Robinson
So stoked for this app! I have so many writer friends who would benefit tremendously from this! Congrats on the launch mate ๐Ÿ‘
Abishek
@nathansrobinson thank you so much Nathan, appreciate that you've been supporting since Day 1! :)
Danies Daniel
Extremely nice implementation of a super common idea but for a niche probably no one would think of helping. Absolutely love it.
Abishek
@boatbuilder right! Writers are underrated ๐Ÿฅน

I always enjoy seeing my coding progress on Github, now writers can feel the same and keep their streak alive, that's awesome!
Abishek
@thomboil thank you so much Thomas ๐Ÿ™
Ivan Makarov
I found Google Docs the best doc writing tool out there! It's nice to have these features for it!
Abishek
@ivan_makarov1 yes a lot of writers seem to use it! So decided to start there. Glad you think so too!
Aashish Peepra
@abishek_gomes Hey Abishek! ๐Ÿš€ Quillcap is such a thoughtful tool, and kudos for building it for your girlfriend! ๐Ÿ“š ๐Ÿ“ How does it specifically help with forming daily writing habits? Does it provide reminders or insights on progress?
Abishek
@aashish_peepra I plan to incorporate streaks and notifications, but the main utility is starting to write every few days and looking back makes it harder to not do the next day, pretty much because you have an unbroken streak.
Anurag Sharma
Looks exciting
Abishek
@anuragdev thank you Anurag ๐Ÿ™
Sherri Russell
I am really impressed with how well this idea has been executed, especially considering it is such a common concept. What's even more commendable is that it caters to a niche that is unlikely to receive much attention or assistance. I am absolutely thrilled by it.
