The idea behind lapse

Most blogs begin with excitement, then slowly fade. Life gets busy. Weeks turn into months. Writing drifts to the background. That's okay.

Lapse exists to help you keep showing up.

It uses a simple rule. Write something within 30 days, or the blog disappears. No warnings, no recovery. Just a gentle deadline.

The point is not pressure. It is permission. When nothing has to last forever, it becomes easier to write anything at all.

A few sentences. A rough idea. Something unfinished.

Consistency matters more than polish.

There are no accounts or emails. Your passphrase is your blog. Keep it safe, or let it go.

Lapse is not meant to be permanent. It is a small, quiet place to write without metrics, noise, or expectations.

If you want features and growth tools, this is probably not for you.

If you want a reason to write, try it out.
