Inkwell

Draft, format, publish—one calm workspace for authors

Inkwell launched on May 13, 2026 with 5 votes, #2,008 of 20,538 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

What it does

Inkwell is a local-first workspace for novels: chapters, notes, reordering, and a calm editor with light/dark themes. Draft through layout previews to exports in one workflow—fewer apps to juggle. Start free with no signup. Basic adds cloud backup + EPUB; Pro (early access) adds PDF/DOCX/Markdown/text plus deeper formatting for print and submissions. Paid tiers are one-time with lifetime updates—no subscription—and a 30-day refund. Indie-built by an author; I'll be in the comments.

Inkwell: draft, format, publish for novels—free and local-first, with EPUB, print PDF, DOCX, and Markdown exports included. No account, no subscription.

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
