[5:45 pm: Eating at the PC]

I've developed the habit of eating while doing work. It isn't ideal because I take forever to chew something. A small meal could take 2 hours to finish.

Sometimes when I prefer to dictate instead of type, and having a mouth full of food prevents that.

Feasibility Study

First let's see if the no-code tool Bubble.io would let us implement the core features.

Voice recognition

The user needs to write or dictate their article, book, etc. into a text field that tracks the word count.

On a smartphone, one can use the built-in keyboard dictation feature. Smartphones, tablets, PCs, and Macs all have dictation apps that let you speak your content into any field where you can type. So this isn't a feature we need to add.

Word count

We need to track word counts. Bubble has a plugin called theCountable that could work: https://bubble.io/plugin/thecountable-1529604179466x437088273613455360

Time tracking

We can probably write custom code and/or use an API.

Word count recalculating

We can probably write custom code and/or use an API.

Responsiveness

Some recent comments on YouTube reviews of Bubble.io mention their new responsive engine: https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/responsive-engine-beta

All in all, seems feasible! Let's go!
