Looks really nice! I'm not a writer by myself, but nowadays everyone is somehow using agent to help writing. Are you planning to add some kind of it to the tool?

No. I believe that writing should be done by humans. Same for art (well, writing is art, but you get the drift). I did use Kokoro which technically is GenAI, but because proofreading is an important part of the writing process. It helped me a lot to detect dialogues that don't flow naturally, or sentences that sounded awkward.

Also, one reason why I made this was because I did not want to have GenAI in my writing. And Google Docs or other such services push LLMs so much. Wanted something private.
