notebook is a set of tools for writers, game designers, and roleplayers to create magnificent universes – and everything within them.
From a simple interface in your browser, on your phone, or on your tablet, you can do everything you’d ever want to do while creating your own little (or big!) world.
notebook is a writer’s planning tool for creating anything from universes to characters, to plots, to individual items.
It is also meant to expand into many areas to benefit writers (and exciting to developers), including areas like:
-
Automated revision services
-
Structuring real-time natural language processing output into a semantically reusable state
-
Decision-making algorithms for improving reading comprehension, reading level, accent-correction, and other real-time writing suggestions
-
A knowledge graph of structured data in your universe, and an engine to manipulate it in awesome ways
-
Machine learning on generating character and location names, suggesting realistic defaults (random or not), and more
-
and tons more
If you are interested in helping out, check out the issue tracker. I’ve loaded it with tons of action-based, chunk-sized improvements that I think anyone familiar with Rails will be able to jump in and complete. Feel free to make suggestions, open issues, join discussions, or ask where you should look in the code to get started implementing something. :)
You’ll notice there are *a lot* of issues in *a lot* of milestones. Call it feature creep, but I’ve separated every potential idea for full-fledged services into milestones that can be worked on completely independently of others. The features are (for the most part) has no deadlines and are in development simultaneously, meaning if you see a feature you would really like to use, you can make that feature happen by jumping directly into it and completing its issues.
TL;DR Milestones are independent of each other – work on whatever you want to see made!

Deployment to the live stage will only be done by approved developers, and consists of a deployment of
-
deploy github to staging (done only by approved developers)
-
mirror data from live into staging
-
run regression tests on staging environment
-
deploy from staging to live (viewed at notebook.ai)
