Quillium, Git for Writers

This is a tool which lets you easily manage different versions of ideas, helpful for writing essays. I've found myself wanting this every single time I go through the drafting process when writing, and I've been frustrated every time I find myself accidentally working on an old draft just because there was a paragraph that I liked better. This solves it. I hope the community like this as much I enjoyed working on it! Note that it's currently a beta waitlist because there's some bugs with the undo/redo state management and so I want to dogfood it for a bit for reliability. It says April…

What it does

A writing app that lets you write in branches. Fork any sentence, keep every version, and never lose a draft.

Draft a sentence three different ways and decide later. Quillium keeps every version. Write a sentence three different ways, and pick the one that lands. Not an AI app — you write every word. Your work stays on your device. Crash-safe autosave. Quillium never generates text, never autocompletes your sentence, never "fixes" a word behind your back. It's version control for prose . Branch and fork your writing, the way programmers have kept every version for decades. Fork any sentence without duplicating the document. Every take stays in place, side by side, until you know which one lands. Your work is saved locally. It's durable, reliable, instant, and no internet connection is required.

    Hi, Fellow researcher from Yale, I was frustrated with Overleaf and google docs not able to write and collaborate on documents the way I wanted to. I write my research in Latex but since Cursor came out, I thought this has to change, I'm wasting too much time and having mental fog all the time, kinda going through writer's block and hence I decided to create this latex writing assistant for myself but now used by a ton of researchers, I wanted your feedback, what you like, what you don't like, alternatives you've seen, what you would like to have, nice to have, you'd definitely pay to have,…

    Favorite writing / journaling tool? Half-finished projects welcome2021 · ▲14

    I’m specifically looking for a tool a user shared on here that facilitated writing for content by scrolling up and disappearing text as new text was inputted. I believe it was a HTML/JSS only solution - a small personal project. I’ve done a lot of focused searches, but haven’t been able to find this comment. That said, I love these sorts of projects. I know they’re a self-indulgence and often a distraction. I’m celebrating that for a moment, personally. Please share your favorites writing tools, the smaller and more personal the better.
