you can use the first slider on the toolbar to set the minimum word length, default is 4 (or the third button on the toolbar if you're on phone or smaller screens)


was it a long text?


268 lines.


the initial text on the site is the instructions. I can agree it's somewhat a questionable design, but I wanted to make sure that the instructions are there for newcomers and easy to clear for the regular users. So any action on the editor will clear the instructions, but the text you type is safe.


It’s very surprising, the instructions disappear and there’s no obvious way to get them back. Undo doesn’t work, for example.

Maybe consider selecting all the text on the first click/focus in the textarea. That way it’s still there but a regular user can just paste, type, or hit backspace to get rid of the instruction. Undo would let you get it back.

Nice to see Svelte in the wild here, by the way.


Good ideas on the instructions, will work on it!

Yeah, coming from React I really liked coding in Svelte, hope to see it grow more!


Someone commented something similar on reddit a while ago, and it is a very good argument to be honest. Still, you might find some situations where the tool might be useful and it's already deployed, so people can use it if they want
