Quillcap automatically syncs your writing activity from your Google Docs file and shows your progress on a calendar (just like Github's commit calendar!)
Hey, this is Abishek! I'm a solo immigrant founder from Sri Lanka, living in the US.
This is my very first SaaS project, all thanks to my girlfriend who is a writer. After seeing my commit calendar on Github, she wished she had something similar, but for her own books that she's writing with Google Docs.
So I built Quillcap in a month. Using it has improved her writing so much, and made her form a daily habit that she can't let go, and I figured there's other writers who want the same thing.
So I'm releasing it everyone. For free.
I love making stuff that helps people, and that is my life's purpose.
@abishek_gomes Interesting idea. I do a lot of my daily writing on Google Docs. I'm surely going to try this out.

Hey Abishek! 🚀 Quillcap is such a thoughtful tool, and kudos for building it for your girlfriend! 📚 📝 How does it specifically help with forming daily writing habits? Does it provide reminders or insights on progress?
Very cool tool! I really like the idea of tracking writing progress with Github to build consistency.
Writing can inherently be a pretty lonely activity, so anything to make it more social and shareable is a big improvement. I'd love to see Quillcap expand to more writing tools! ✒️
I am really impressed with how well this idea has been executed, especially considering it is such a common concept. What's even more commendable is that it caters to a niche that is unlikely to receive much attention or assistance. I am absolutely thrilled by it.
congrats on the launch Abishek! this is cool! are you planning on integrating other writing tools? :)
I found Google Docs the best doc writing tool out there! It's nice to have these features for it!
This looks pretty nice for the writers of the future!
Probably could be a good idea in the near future to add AI suggestions for the book, but for now good luck in the launch!
So stoked for this app! I have so many writer friends who would benefit tremendously from this!
Congrats on the launch mate 👏
I always enjoy seeing my coding progress on Github, now writers can feel the same and keep their streak alive, that's awesome!
Extremely nice implementation of a super common idea but for a niche probably no one would think of helping. Absolutely love it.
It was super fun to try out Quillcap – loved the "Github calendar" view, I can imagine it's super useful to writers to stay motivated day after day 👏
This is a wonderful product Abishek, this will greatly improve writers productivity 💯
