Design for attention, not for dopamine

Most publishing tools borrow from social networks. They add notifications, streaks, and algorithmic feeds. Scrawl borrows from paper. The page is calm because your mind needs calm to make meaning.

Three principles

1. Subtraction is a feature. We said no to images, embeds, and dashboards so your words breathe.

2. Same place for every length. A 20-word observation and a 2,000-word essay live together. Same login, same calm.

3. Conversation, not performance. Threaded comments, moderated by you. No likes to chase.

If you protect the first hour of your day for writing — no phone, just page — Scrawl will protect the rest: no ads, no tracking, your content indexed cleanly for search and RSS, forever yours.
