Catalpas Atelier Scroll

Plan and write complex stories in one local-first Project

What it does

Scroll is a local-first desktop writing studio for novels, nonfiction, and complex long-form work. Keep Markdown manuscripts, Story data, research, author tasks, Works, and versions in one Project. Inspect the same Story through eleven built-in views, switch between Visual and Source editing, or enter Black House for focused writing. Scroll prepares a clear manuscript source for Scribe; it does not create PDF, EPUB, page layout, or pagination.

Plan novels and long-form projects in Scroll, a local-first Markdown writing app with timelines, relationship maps, research, tasks, and manuscript delivery.

A local-first writing and planning studio for novels, nonfiction, and complex long-form projects. Draft in Markdown, organize story data, compare timelines, and keep every working file in a project folder you control. Write in a focused editor while the project tree, linked cards, metadata, references, and inspector stay close at hand. Scroll works with ordinary local folders and readable source files, so the project remains portable outside the app. Scroll's eleven built-in Story views read the same local records. Move from fields and dates to relationships, places, or visual canvases without duplicating the Project. Review events, dates, locations, participants, and other fields together…from catalpasatelier.com

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
