sorry i'm a writer who edits... this project is genuinely interesting and i'm curious to see where it goes. i would try to market it as ML instead of AI, given the current temperature of AI in publishing and writing circles. if somebody can improve upon track changes in a git-like, narrative-tree way, then that might be super useful tool!

Yeah I noticed that my god. I regret even posting it. I'm suddenly getting a lot of weird mail I'm not used to hate like that.

  What type of hate are you getting if you don't mind me asking? I like your tool by the way, I don't understand what sort of person would have such visceral hate towards someone's creation. They don't have to use it but it is nice for you to share your creation. Don't be put off by them, they actually secretly use LLMs for their own work and they are embarrassed of putting it out there to protect their own 'programmer' ego. Keep going!

    Got 4 emails in my email inbox. I suspect all from the same guy. Weird rants about how ai is going to eat peoples brains how I'm going to hell and calling me a bunch of nasty names. Probably not wrong but you know he could have said it nicer. Removed the email address from the homepage just in case. Appreciate your reply thank you.

I think we're both looking for the same improvements and I haven't found them in a writing tool yet: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49331036 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49331036

  Yeah many are trying to solve this. It's really not easy to get the UX right. Git changes can get deep and wide I wanted to have a simple way to navigate my story in a tree form but cli is really not great in displaying those. Lazygit is the best imo but still not great. WebUIs are not really better Looms seem to work a bit better, which is also what 1667 is based on. But still I don't know needs work https://cyborgism.wiki/hypha/loom https://cyborgism.wiki/hypha/loom
