I'm just a cool cat making software for writers.
Progress seems random but let me show the target at which the arrow is pointed: the original prototype for Artificer was a Pulsar plugin. Many features are planned: Redundant phrasing, sentence length, grammar/punctuation errors and lots of QoL improvements for writing general prose. #BuildinPublic

New context menu is working. It was more complex than I expected: never thought so much about a simple menu before. To the writers, what do you actually use? Rename, Delete, Duplicate, Move to..., Tag/Untag, Reveal, Collapse/Expand?

Artificer progress: project creation + nested folders working. Single-root tree, fast sorts, SQLite under the hood.

Wired the “New Folder” round-trip in Artificer: renderer service -> main handler -> domain -> event bus -> renderer update. Visual tomorrow when the accordion paints the result.

I... uh... I broke something. I don't know what. I certainly don't know how. #Typescript #indiedev #buildinpublic

Today’s commit: native file dialogs are now centralized. One API to rule them all, one API to bind them.

Logs now stream from main to renderer, double-click menu bug fixed, and I found the EventEmitter leak hiding in hot reloads. UI accordion work tomorrow.

Today’s progress: scaffolding Artificer’s tag filter + “add folder” controls in the new accordion nav. Not flashy yet, but it’s the bones that make the muscle work later.

A solid day of working on Artificer, my new word processor app. Implementing a tree view file picker in the UI. Everything is slowly coming together. #buildinpublic #writing
