Writer’s Room: Local-First Writing & Planning Workspace
The problem
A long-form writing project is more than a manuscript. Chapters, characters, story notes, ideas, and backups all need to stay connected without becoming difficult to navigate.
The product
Writer’s Room is an independent writing workspace designed to bring manuscript organisation and story planning into one focused environment.
It brings together:
Manuscript organisation
Chapter and story planning
Notes for characters and ideas
Local-first storage
Backup options
Flexible AI connections
Product approach
The workspace is designed for writers who want a clearer home for a large creative project while retaining control over how, or whether, AI fits into their process.
The focus was on creating a responsive product experience that supports returning to a project without losing the thread between the manuscript and supporting material.
Scope
I handled the product concept, interface design, implementation, and testing.
Tools
GitHub, OpenAI, and Visual Studio Code.
This is an independent product project.
