KoraKagaj
A calmer place to write your book: manuscript, characters, world, plot and research in one quiet workspace.
Built by Deepesh Kumar
The problem
Most writing tools are either too simple, a folder of docs with no structure, or too complex, with production-software energy and a manual to learn.
A book's characters, places, plot and research end up scattered across files.
What I built
A focused workspace for novels, poetry, short-story collections and scripts. Real structure when a project needs it, invisible when it doesn't.
It's the one product on this floor that isn't an automation, and it's live.
How it works
- 01 · Write
A Tiptap manuscript editor with autosave, focus and typewriter modes, and per-project page appearance.
- 02 · Link
A Story Bible for characters, world and plot. @mention a character or place in your prose and a backlink index keeps itself, without ever writing for you.
- 03 · Collect
A Keep-style notes pad, and a research board where a pasted URL becomes a bookmark card with title, image and favicon.
- 04 · Shape
Novel, Poetry, Script and Custom projects each get their own sidebar, defaults and theme.
- 05 · Ship
Exports PDF, EPUB and DOCX from the same document model, so what you see in the editor is what ships. Leave the cover blank and a typeset one is generated from the title and author.
