What's new in 1.1

Draft, then go back and edit. DripWriter now types like someone actually writing: it lays
down a rough draft (leaving a lowercase sentence-start, a mistyped word, or a dropped comma), then
re-reads, arrows back to each spot, fixes it, and returns to the end — capitalization, typos,
punctuation. The final text still matches your input exactly.

Grounded in keystroke-logging writing research: bursts of typing separated by planning pauses
(often 2 s+) at sentence boundaries, and shorter pauses during revision.

It's on by default in Max Human mode (⌘3), or toggle "Draft, then go back & edit" in any mode.
