I just pushed out Beta 1 of Publine, and I’m pretty excited about where it’s landed.
Publine is a publishing platform built for writers who want a little AI help without giving up control. It’s modular, lightweight, and designed to play nice whether you’re writing a novel, building a simulation, or just experimenting with story formats.
What’s in Beta 1:
AI Tools
Summarize chapters, generate social posts, and track characters — all routed through a clean abstraction layer that supports OpenAI, Gemini, and local models.
Character Tracker (AI)
It reads your chapter HTML, pulls out named characters, counts mentions, and gives you a sortable table. Super handy for keeping track of who’s who.
Want to help test?
If you’re a writer, dev, or accessibility advocate and want to help out, I’d love your feedback. You don’t need fancy hardware — just curiosity and a few chapters to throw at it. I'm even throwing in fake_local.py a Flask app that will pretend to be a local model for the purpose of testing Publine.
