I think I'll keep making TUIs but thanks. Easier to test too. Try testing your beautiful claude design React app end to end

A few others have commented about that. But I think there are tools that already, right? From my limited search. If you mean command line tui tools then yeah maybe that is a niche

yes they do. I thought you meant I should have a larger default. When you configure any model the context size that's reported is detectable

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

I also built a webui but it's not very fleshed out. After all this hate I'm thinking about stripping out the ai parts of the webui and making it a manual writing tool maybe. Keep the branching and tree visualizations

I'd love to hear some ideas about non ai tooling. I do write myself (terribly). Maybe the tree system and branch switching would still work without attaching it to an LLM backend. But the editor would have to be more advanced I think.

haha thank you. Would love to see your project. I could use a few fresh ideas myself

by refsab 1mo ago
Thank you. I didn't think this would be so controversial. A few people are in my email inbox with nasty comments. I've removed my email from the website. I'm not used such visceral hate. Anyway I have children myself. They pl

>but haven't managed to find the best way to visualise them in a UI, so I'm excited to see what you settled on yes exactly. My main motivation for writing this was to try my hand at it. I'm not happy yet. First started loo

Should be more? I envisioned the user of this as kind of local koboldcpp or lmstudio users with limited resources

This is really cool. Like a q/a system you can plug on top of your own files. I starred and will be trying it on some of markdown files. Thanks of the tip

I did add an aside mode that I use for this. Where I ask questions about the storyline, remind me about characters, give me feedback or generate a prompt for the next chapter. Would be interesting to split this out into a separate app that

Thank you. I added different themes but I liked this one the best

As for the hate I think it's because I called it AI writing tool that brings is a crowd that I really didn't want to address or ever envision as users.

by refsab 1mo ago
Yes. But SillyTavern didn't work for me. I didn't like the character focused chat interaction. You can configure it for novel writing. The way it treats alternate takes feels wrong to me. It's not branching off of alternates

by refsab 1mo ago
Yeah not wrong. But as I said this is not a replacement tool for my writing but another hobby, akin to roleplaying maybe

Context window depends on the model used. I used gemma4 I think and set it to 32k so startup is faster. I think even gemma supports up to 200k

This was also tied pretty much to my process. Just publish it. Would love to exchange ideas. The only thing I would avoid is calling it an AI writing tool haha. I didn't realize this was such a sore topic. Probably naive of me

Thank you. Really appreciate it. Makes me feel better. Yeah I spent a lot of time thinking about this problem. Wanted to make it easy to navigate multiple takes and multiple branches. It's a difficult UX problem. I feel like the path v

Yeah that's why I spend time on discords to share. You can very quickly fall into this llm psychosis adjacent place where you just go round and round

But I'm not taking it away. I'm adding to it. I'm also writing my own stories. My post marketed it the wrong way I think. I'm suddenly getting a lot of hate mail in my inbox. What it really is is a kind of choose your ow

by refsab 1mo ago
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

by refsab 1mo ago
Oh I do. They are just utter garbage but that's beside the point. This caters to a different lets say need. Like I said in another post it's more like low tech holodeck or maybe create your own adventure. Where the story evolves b

What do you mean? Can you elaborate?

by refsab 1mo ago
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.

Whole story up to the context limit. Then it starts dropping stuff. But I didn't want auto dropping or auto summaries like what other tools do. I like to be strategic summarize the correct places when the context gets full. There is a

by refsab 1mo ago
Saw your edit. Yeah I had that too. But I wanted something more ai driven because I'm not a trash writer. I want that lowtech holodeck feel where I tell the model to take the story and it writes a chapter for me. Plus wanted to keep br

by refsab 1mo ago
My god. I'm getting anxiety. I shouldn't have posted this
29.
by refsab 1mo ago
It's a form of low tech holodeck. You write the stories you want to read. I love these vintage pulp detective novels but no one writes them anymore so I write them myself for myself, and a few of my fellow weirdos on weird discords.

This is not a slop book producer. I mean it is but mostly for a niche of off grid weirdos like me. We are not writing for the public. It's like fanfic. On off grid forums and discords. I think if someone wanted to produce a slop book
