'''Our World of Text''' (OWOT or OWoT) is a website that lets users type text anywhere in a grid. Users can choose the color of their text and visit other pages known as "worlds." In OWOT, all users start on the main page and can see other worlds by adding the name of the world to the end of the URL after a slash, or by clicking a link in the Center Console or anywhere else on the main page.


OWOT was first launched on June 8, 2010, by the developer and creator of Your World of Text.<ref>https://twitter.com/yourworldoftext/status/15743326242</ref> It was created as an alternative to Your World of Text that allows unrestricted scripting. In early August 2015, it was announced that OWOT would shut down on August 20th due to funding issues. Weeks after its original shutdown, control of the domain was handed to InfraRaven to start a revival of OWOT. The revival was based on the heavily modified [https://github.com/reverie/yourworldoftext YWOT source code] from 2010 and featured a new menu design and a loading screen.


In 2016, a new version of OWOT was started, allowing users to change the size of their text and globally chat with all users on a world. It featured a sidebar menu to the left with options such as text color and size, as well as a chat. This version was developed in parallel under the "beta" subdomain. Subsequently, the revival would shut down in late 2016 after a botched attempt at creating a new client.

On October 8, 2017, a new version of OWOT launched. The website's backend was created in [[Wikipedia:Node.js|Node.js]] while the frontend used a modified copy of the Your World of Text client in its first few months. Our World of Text is maintained by a hobbyist computer programmer going by the online alias of [[FP]].

A page on Our World of Text is made up of character cells that are lined up to a grid. To add text to a page, a user must click anywhere on the page that isn't protected to bring the text cursor to that position. Once the cursor is focused, the user can add text by simply typing as if it were any ordinary text editor.

Each world is divided into 16-cell wide and 8-cell tall chunks called tiles. Each cell can store only one grapheme cluster, allowing Zalgo text to be written since users can create combined characters. However, OWOT's implementation of grapheme clustering is relatively limited and only covers Emoji characters and combining characters. For more information, please see [[tile format]].

Our World of Text does not require an account to access and edit public worlds or to use chatrooms. OWOT uses Uvias as its authentication system to manage accounts, which was introduced on August 27, 2019. The goal of Uvias is to allow for the sharing of accounts between Our World of Text, [[Our World of Pixels]], and the unfinished project [[Spooks]].
