Roadmap

Directional intent we keep honest — lanes show confidence, not guarantees. Ship truth lives in the Changelog.

How to read this page

Each card is a living note about intent—not a contract. Priorities change as we ship with writers. Exploring ideas may never land; check the Changelog for what actually released.

Last reviewed · 2026-05-24

Current themes

Three lanes guide ordering — not a rigid quarterly plan.

  • Draft fidelity

    Page Canvas proportions, reading themes, and export paths that match what novelists send out the door.

  • Encyclopedia depth

    Peek, structural Links, and faster lore retrieval — lore indexed beside the sentence, not in a separate app.

  • Presence without noise

    Edit, Live Sync, and co-writing that stay instrumental — editors comment in context without turning fiction into pipeline management.

    Project desk with manuscript cards, chapter navigation sidebar, and a calm three-panel editor shell (sidebar · floating paper canvas · tool rail). Focus hides all chrome.

  • ShippedWriting Engines

    Draft editor with autosave

    TipTap long-form surface, rolling autosave with optimistic versioning, real-time word count, conflict detection, and a floating format menu on text selection.

  • ShippedWriting Engines

    Page

    Page Canvas renders in the proportions of your target format — Trade 6×9 or Digest 5.5×8.5 — with page-break guides and an estimated page count. What you see while writing matches the printed shape.

  • ShippedWriting Engines

    Focus

    One toggle strips the workspace bare. No sidebar, no tool rail, no chrome — just the Page and the cursor.

  • ShippedStructure & Security

    History

    Named entries with SHA-256 fingerprints, explicit restore into the editor, and Proof Record exports. A timeline of every saved draft.

  • ShippedStructure & Security

    Encyclopedia

    Lore entries for characters, locations, and other references — manually indexed into chapters from the editor rail (Links).

  • ShippedStructure & Security

    Log

    Background hash tracker — silently fingerprints every saved draft with SHA-256. Feeds the Proof Record and Authorship Certificate.

  • ShippedStructure & Security

    Record (JSON)

    Machine-readable Proof Record export — JSON bundle plus README documenting fingerprints, timestamps, and the disclosure that this is evidence, not legal authority.

  • ShippedStructure & Security

    Chapter reordering

    Drag-and-drop chapter reorder in the editor sidebar and manuscript hub, with Alt+arrow keyboard moves and optimistic save to sort_order.

  • ShippedWriting Engines

    Slash-command menu

    Edit

    Collaboration hub — Invite an editor with a scoped share link; they open the Reader; their Notes merge back into your workspace. No paid seat for read-only review.

  • In betaThe Ledger & Access Layer

    Invite

    Secure share-link generator inside Edit. Chapter payload travels in the URL (gzip + integrity hash) so reviewers do not need an account.

  • In betaThe Ledger & Access Layer

    Reader

    External read-only viewer at /review/[token]. Renders the chapter, accepts margin Notes anchored to plain-text offsets.

  • In betaStructure & Security

    Notes

    Margin notes flow from the Reader back into the editor and merge as resolvable threads. Comment Merge across reviewers is on the roadmap.

  • In betaWriting Engines

    Keys

  • In betaStructure & Security

    Certificate (PDF)

    Human-readable Authorship Certificate wrapping the Proof Record — fingerprints, timestamps, and a brief explainer of what the cryptographic claims mean. Export ships from manuscript Proof; production QA remains a pre-launch gate.

  • PlannedThe Ledger & Access Layer

    Live Sync

    Same manuscript across browser and desktop with calm conflict handling — idempotent merges and an offline queue.

Exploring
