Literati has grown quite a bit since our last update. What started as a home for long-form reading has expanded into a set of tools for writers and readers alike. Here is a quick look at what we have been working on.
Morning Pages is a simple daily writing exercise built into Literati. The idea comes from Julia Cameron's practice: write three pages of stream-of-consciousness text first thing in the morning, before your inner critic wakes up. Our version gives you a clean, distraction-free editor with a gentle word-count target and localized support so you can write in your own language. No formatting options, no save-and-share — just you and the blank page.
We have been building a curated collection of literary quotes from public-domain authors. You can browse by author or by theme — solitude, ambition, love, mortality, and more. Every quote includes its source and context so it feels less like a greeting card and more like a doorway back into the original work. The collection is still growing, but we are focused on depth over volume.
Manuscript is an open-source writing app we are developing for drafting books and organizing chapters. It is still early, but the goal is a focused tool that keeps your creative process in one place without the complexity of a full word processor. We will share more as the project takes shape — you can follow development on GitHub in the meantime.
We are continuing to refine each of these tools and thinking about how they fit together. Literati is becoming a place where reading and writing reinforce each other. If any of this resonates, we would love to hear from you.
