Local-first publishing studio

Manuscript

Write in Markdown. Shape it into something worth reading.

A developing publishing tool. Keep project backups and check pagination before final export.

What it does

A local-first Markdown publishing environment focused on structured writing, document production, and durable project workflows.

Its central transition is from structured source to composed publication. Markdown remains the durable authoring layer, while the output side resolves hierarchy, typography, figures, and document structure into something intended to be read and distributed.

Inside the project

Markdown authoring

Write structured source content in a focused Markdown workspace.

Publication build

Transform source structure into a composed document rather than a browser preview alone.

Document composition

Resolve headings, body typography, figures, and page rhythm into an editorial output.

Export-ready output

Move from editable manuscript to a finished document state designed for distribution.
