Who is this for though?

As a writer, a lot of times I am writing over 5,000 words in a single article. I can type at around 170 wpm but my wrist starts hurting the moment I write more than three pages in my journal. I also use a split ergonomic keyboard which helps my hands a lot. I also revise my writing heavily which is very hard to do with handwritten stuff.

For readers, it will maybe be a novelty but I don't really see why anyone will prefer reading content that is handwritten since it has a lot of accessibility problems which are solved with proper typesetting.

I could see the value if it was a collection of interesting notes or unique handwriting styles etc. But i don't think its usuable as a blogging platform imo

For myself, it's really about slowing down my thinking. It's definitely not meant for _efficient_ writing :)
Blog posts don’t need to be 5000 words nor do you need to write them on one sitting (or under 30 minutes).

For wrist fatigue having better paper and pen help a lot, but part of it is just using the muscles and not having a death grip.

This being said I don’t like that this is hand writing with a device. It just isn’t the same as actual physical media.
