Fragile layouts
Small edits can break spacing, headings, and page flow.
Beautiful reproducible documents
Create polished client-ready documents from a focused writing workflow, reusable templates, and predictable exports.
# Proposal
## Context
Clean documents should not require fragile copy and paste.
- Write once
- Pick a template
- Export a clean document
The problem
Small edits can break spacing, headings, and page flow.
Content moves between editors, design tools, and export flows.
Teams lose time keeping documents visually aligned.
Professionals spend time polishing instead of writing.
The solution
Write your content once, choose a reusable template, and export a clean document that is ready to send. The workflow stays local, direct, and easy to understand.
Write structured content without fighting page layout.
Use templates to keep documents consistent.
Export documents that are ready to share with clients or teams.
Current features
Write structured content in a clean local workspace.
Keep content, metadata, assets, and generated output together.
Generate polished files that are easy to share with clients and teams.
Apply consistent document styles without rebuilding layouts by hand.
Work on your machine with clear files and predictable tools.
Keep source content portable, reviewable, and repeatable.
