... building Folio - a desktop IDE for novelists who want a code-editor workflow (panels, keyboard-driven, fast file ops) instead of a Word/Scrivener vibe. It's local-first: every chapter is a Markdown file on your disk. No accounts, no cloud sync, no telemetry. If Folio disappears tomorrow, your manuscript is still just a folder of `.md` files. What v0.1.9 brings: - Panel-visibility settings (hide/show inspector, plan, AI panels per project) - Split IDE-wide vs

... launch, but let's be real: it didn't take off. People thought it was cool for a minute, then moved on. No real retention, no real problem being solved. Here's what I actually learned from it: Novelty value. A cool concept gets you a launch day. It doesn't get you users who come back on day 30. I was building for the demo, not the workflow. ClawOffice looked great in a screenshot. It didn't solve anything ... ... same spot. Question for you all: what's a project you shipped that you thought would land but didn't - and what did it teach you? Comment from Naomi Florence(@naomi_florence1): I am not fully convinced novelty

So, we decided to build a solution to scratch our own itch: NovelFlow, an AI scriptwriting engine designed strictly for long-form narrative control and seamless post-production. When it comes to commercial creation, it's not about flashy tech features, it's about stable delivery and seamless workflow integration. We stripped away ... ... bloated, redundant features to focus on what actually matters: human-machine collaboration, global narrative planning, and end-to-end reliability. Think of it as your Chief Creative Assistant. Instead of building just another "text generator," we engineered NovelFlow

... months, our most requested feature at Murror was a chat function. Users wanted to talk to the AI the way they talk to a friend. It seemed obvious. Every competitor had it. Every feedback form mentioned it. So we built it. And within two weeks, our core metrics started dropping. Session length went down. Return rate went down. The thing users said they wanted was actively making the product worse. Here is what we discovered when we dug into ... ... Josephine(@leah_josephine): @monatruong_murror  The delay is honestly what makes this so tricky. If the first few days looked strong I can see how it would have been so easy to read it as validation instead of novelty

... demand delivery is no longer a novelty. It is an expectation. What has changed is how many apps users must juggle to meet everyday needs. Groceries come from one platform, food from another, essentials from a third, and local retail from somewhere else entirely.

... sparked an interesting thought experiment: how likely is it that we ll see AGI (AI that thinks and learns like a human) within the next five years? The report highlights a fascinating divergence: the view from money vs. the view from science. Money : the probability inferred from trillions poured into data centers, Nvidia chips, and servers. Investors seem to be betting that AGI is inevitable. Science : the probability inferred from research papers and AI development models. Experts are far more ... ... might be ahead of reality.

Our data shows this reduces discoverability by 67%, which aligns with YouTube's recommendation algorithm prioritizing novelty over replication.

But here's what no one talks about: The "best" AI model is different for everyone. What works for a novelist doesn't work for a technical writer. What works for blog posts doesn't work for emails.
