'''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]].
 
On February 25, 2023, OWOT became [https://github.com/system2k/nodeworldoftext open source], allowing others to run their own instance of Our World of Text.
