Time to blackout is far too short

I do a lot of writing and was hoping that FlowState could keep me focused and making progress. Well, it might. But your text starts to fade the instant you stop typing. If you scroll up to double-check a paragraph, or make sure you aren’t using the same example twice, the text starts fading the moment you stop adding new text. As a result, I’m forced to type just for the sake of typing. “Flow” doesn’t just mean continually typing. “Flow,” at least for me, means continually *writing*, which may involve pausing to think for a moment, or pasting in a passage from somewhere else.

Great concept. Beautiful interface. But unusably rapid timeouts and no ability to tweak the program to fit my writing style.

(For $10, I expect at least a little bit of configurability, or a more nuanced understanding of the writing process than just “type without pausing.”)
