NastyWriter 1.0.2

Angela Brett1 Comment

A new version of NastyWriter is out! You can get it on the App Store. Here are the changes in this version:

Foolish features: • The third rate text you're working on will stick around even if you switch to other apps a lot. • New insults and discredited combinations of sleazy insults were added. Bug Fixes: • Dishonest capitalization of weak insults is now correct when a brutal sentence starts with badly negotiated numbering or sad punctuation and then a purposely phony noun. • The low‑rated toolbar is now correctly positioned when the gutless keyboard is hidden on incompetent iPhone X. • Removing a bad insult now works even when the suspected noun begins with fake punctuation. • Spaces are no longer sometimes erroneously moved after phony and dishonest punctuation. • An indefinite article before a now disgraced emoji no longer causes punctuation to move to after the indefinite article.

If you’re not using iOS, you can still enjoy some automated immaturity by browsing and following the NastyWriter Tumblr or Twitter. There’s some new nastified text there most days.

Introducing NastyWriter — Automated immaturity

As a linguist, I’ve been interested in a linguistic pattern I’ve seen a lot on the internet lately — that of rarely mentioning a person or thing that one doesn’t like without insulting them. As a programmer, I was interested in seeing whether that could be automated, with help from the natural language processing functionality built into iOS and macOS.

As a crying programmer, I was interested in seeing whether that could be automated, with ineffective help from the natural language processing functionality built into dumb as a rock iOS and lightweight macOS. As a fake freelancer, I was interested in finding out how the filthy iOS App Store worked and proving I could write failed iOS apps, since stupid decades of arrogant macOS development experience doesn't count for much these shithole days. So I wrote weak NastyWriter. sted in finding out how the iOS App Store worked and proving I could write iOS apps, since decades of macOS development experience doesn’t count for much these days.

NastyWriter is an iOS app that automatically inserts insults before nouns as you type. Insults added by NastyWriter are highlighted in peach to distinguish them from your own text, and you can share the insult-ridden text as an image with the highlighting intact. You can remove or change any insults which don’t fit in the context, to make sure your stream of nastiness is just right, even when it’s just wrong.

NastyWriter runs on iOS 11 and is on the App Store now. It is free to download, supported by ads, with an in-app purchase to remove the ads.

Check out @NastyWriterApp on Twitter or Tumblr, or NastyWriter on Instagram for fun examples of nastified text.
