I built WritingRooms because I was tired of writing alone (and procrastinating)

The problem: Writing alone is terrible for productivity (and motivation)

Hey IndieHackers! 👋

I'm Scott, and like most of us here, I wear multiple hats - building products, writing documentation, creating content, etc. But I kept hitting the same wall: sitting down to actually write anything felt like pulling teeth.

The solution wasn't better tools or more discipline - it was not writing alone.

What I built: WritingRooms - virtual co-working spaces specifically for writers. You join a room, see others actively writing in real-time, no chat or distractions. Just gentle peer pressure that actually works.

The interesting part: I initially built this just for myself. The "aha moment" was realizing this solves a universal problem for anyone who needs to write - indie hackers included.

What's next:
Adding more productivity tracking features
Building integrations with popular writing tools
Try it: www.writingrooms.xyz

Questions for the community:

How do you handle the "just sit down and write" challenge for your own projects?
Would you use something like this for your own writing, blog posts, etc.?
What features would make this a must-have tool for indie hackers?
Always looking to learn from this community - would love your thoughts! 🙏
