Phext is plain text in 11 dimensions: a file of scrolls, each at a coordinate - and still plain text. Phext Edit is its web editor. Navigate by coordinate, browse the dimension tree, search, edit any scroll and save to the server. Live demo, no sign-in; sign in with Google, GitHub, or X for your own files. Free no-login utilities: Up Goer Five, Singular, coordinate TTS, Phext Previewer, and Learn You Phext - a phext tutorial that is itself a phext. Open source (phext-lattice). No ads, ever.

Hi Product Hunt - I'm Will Bickford, the maker of Phext Edit.
Phext started from a simple frustration: plain text is the most durable format we have, but a flat file gives every idea exactly one place to live - its offset. Phext keeps text plain and gives it room: 11 dimensions of coordinates, so a document becomes addressable space. Every scroll of text lives at a coordinate like 1.1.1/1.1.1/1.1.1, and you navigate to it the way you would navigate to a place.
Phext Edit is the working editor for that space, running in your browser at edit.phext.io:
Move through a phext by coordinate, or step to the next scroll that has text
Browse the file as a tree of its dimensions and search its text
Edit any scroll and save it back to the phext file on the server
A live demo with no sign-in - nothing in the demo is saved, so poke at it freely
The site also hosts free utilities that need no login: Up Goer Five and Singular (writing checkers built on the ten hundred most common words, and on my own writing vocabulary), a coordinate text-to-speech demo, the Phext Previewer, and Learn You Phext - a tutorial that is itself a phext, scroll by scroll.
Phext Edit is open source as part of the phext-lattice project, and there are no ads, ever. I built phext to give every human, sentient, and neuron a voice - I'd love to hear what you would store in 11 dimensions!
