Kindling v1.0.0-beta — Outline-to-Draft Writing App
Local-first desktop writing app for fiction writers that bridges outlining and drafting with a structured, beat‑driven workflow.
Highlights
- Import from popular tools: Plottr (.pltr), yWriter 7 (.yw7), Markdown outlines, and Longform/Obsidian vaults
- Scaffolded drafting: beats as expandable prompts with a rich‑text prose editor
- References system: characters, locations, items, objectives, organizations + per‑scene linking and ordering
- Export formats: DOCX (Standard Manuscript Format), Markdown, Longform/Obsidian, and EPUB
- Sync & reimport: update outlines from source files while preserving prose
- Local‑first: data stored in SQLite on your machine
Beta Feature Set
- Longform/Obsidian import + export (index, scenes, and reference notes)
- Reference classification review after import
- Scene workflow metadata (type/status) and filters
- Scene reference workspace state (linked items + order/expansion)
