• Introducing Floe

    No matter what word processor I start to use I get frustrated really quickly because it doesn’t solve some of the problems I have with writing. Keeping on track is the main issue that I have. I decided to build my own writing app.

    What it does:

    • Analyzes:
      • Characters present in the scene
      • Setting and time of day
      • Point of view and narrative tone
      • Stakes and emotional tension
      • Sensory details (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell)
      • Dialogue/narrative balance
      • Echo words (repeated words that may need attention)
      • Scene structure (inciting incident, turning points, crisis, climax, resolution)

    ๐Ÿงต Plot Thread Tracking

    • Automatic detection of plot threads across your manuscript
    • Smart categorization: Main plot, subplots, character arcs, mysteries, conflicts, relationships
    • Thread lifecycle tracking: Introduced, developing, resolved, or abandoned
    • Visual organization: Grouped by status and type with color-coded indicators
    • Continuity monitoring: Identifies potentially abandoned threads
    • Scene tracking: See which scenes each thread appears in
    • Thread matching: Intelligently matches thread variations across analyses

    ๐Ÿ“Š Visual Story Tracking

    • Scene Information Panel: Persistent right-margin analysis display with customizable fields
    • Bubble Chart Timeline: Visual representation of your manuscript structure
      • Chapter and scene navigation
      • Word count visualization (bubble size)
      • Dialogue percentage tracking (bubble color)
      • Click any bubble to jump to that scene
      • Syncs with cursor position
      • Timeline strip shows current position
    • Plot Threads Panel: Track all story threads in one organized view
      • Expandable groups by status (active, abandoned, resolved)
      • Type-based categorization with visual icons
      • Scene appearance tracking for each thread
      • One-click thread management (clear all)
