Writing,
with company.

Plate 1 · The editor, in two minds
A peek of the Inkling editor, with a page titled Part 2: The Institutions That Run the System.
§1 · What it is

Asmall, warm place to write: on your own, or with someone watching the same page. Write up that research project, that novel, that story with styling that makes things easy, tables that don’t fight you, and a cursor for every person you want writing with you.

We'll be adding more to make your life easier.

§2 · Building in public

A month,
day by day.

What landed, what broke, what got rewritten. A running log, updated as the app keeps growing.

  1. Apr 21under the hood
    The backbone settles

    Quieter shutdowns, cleaner restarts, a more patient server. The plumbing you don’t see, so the rest doesn’t wobble.

  2. Apr 20launched
    Out on the internet, for real

    First real deploy. Inkling lives on a real server, two machines side by side, pages staying with the person typing on them.

  3. Apr 19design
    A new face

    Warm paper, softer corners, quieter buttons, a serif for the writing and a sans for the chrome. The app starts looking like what it’s for.

  4. Apr 17editor
    The editor grows hands

    Type a slash to summon a menu of block kinds. Right-click a block for the small everyday moves — turn it into something else, copy it, throw it away.

  5. Apr 16sharing
    Sign in, bring a friend

    Accounts, workspaces, invitations. A page can belong to a person, or a workspace, or be shared across — and it knows who can see what.

  6. Apr 10tables
    Tables that sit still

    Resize columns, add rows, type across cells. Tables that don’t fight the cursor or the page beneath them.

  7. Apr 09pages
    Pages inside pages

    A sidebar with a real tree. Drag a page into another and it stays there. Everyone watching sees the same tree update in the same breath.

  8. Apr 07day one
    The first mark

    A blank page, a blinking cursor, two tabs watching the same text. Day one — the shape of what Inkling was going to be.
