Sketch - Ensō Coffeeshop Mode

I'm playing with a "coffeeshop" mode for Ensō. It's pretty simple: hit shift twice to toggle between visible and masked text:

Immediate reason: I usually write my Stream of Consciousness Morning Notes at home, but this time I was in a crowded coffeeshop with people breathing down my neck.

Less immediate, but more important, reason: a big chunk of my writing practice is learning how to process and understand my emotions. This means that my notes are deeply personal.

Even when I write at home, and my partner (someone I trust more than anyone else!) is passing by, just knowing/feeling that someone might see what I'm doing makes me feel anxious. That has to do with a couple of things:

And yes, I know that we're all just little boats floating in the sky, people are busy and no one is really looking. This is not a rational fear, this is about having a sense of emotional safety. A feral cat lives in my head rent-free and I'm trying to make it easier for her to feel comfortable. I accept it.

This feature is not available in the app yet. I'm working on a bigger update for Ensō (more on that soon). I'll give it a few more weeks before making changes.
