Ishvana

What it does

Most fiction writers juggle Scrivener, World Anvil, Grammarly, ChatGPT, Plottr, and more just to finish one book. Ishvana is one desktop app that does all of it. Manuscript editor, worldbuilding database, plot studio, map builder, language workbench, mechanics engine, and print-ready book compiler. Local-first. $199 one-time. No subscriptions, no cloud lock-in. Bring your own AI or skip it entirely. Built by a worldbuilder who got tired of fighting his tools.

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
