PubScript

A self-hostable, multi-user writing studio for novelists — one codebase that runs as a web app and as a native desktop app, with a local-first AI co-writing engine built in.

See PLAN.md for the full vision, architecture, and data model. The CHUNK#n.md files are the executable work orders.

Quickstart

pnpm i && pnpm dev      # run the app shell at http://localhost:5173
pnpm test               # run every workspace's unit tests
pnpm typecheck          # strict TypeScript across the monorepo
pnpm build              # build web + server

Docker (self-host)

docker compose -f docker/compose.yaml up --build
# → http://localhost:8080   (health: curl localhost:8080/api/health)

One container serves the web app, runs the Fastify API, and stores SQLite on a volume.

Repository layout

Path	What it is
PLAN.md	Single source of truth for what and why
CHUNK#n.md	Executable, step-by-step work orders
apps/web/	React 19 + Vite app (runs in browser AND in Tauri)
packages/core/	Domain types, ULIDs, time, token budget, StorageAdapter contract
packages/ui/	Design tokens, theme engine (Ink / Parchment / Nocturne / Terminal), component kit
server/	Fastify + SQLite: auth, multi-tenant, WS, admin, AI proxy
docker/	Dockerfile + compose (one container serves app + API + data)
docs/	ADRs, data model reference, AI role prompts, parity matrix

Status

CHUNK #1 — Scaffold & Foundations is complete: monorepo, strict TypeScript, the app shell, the theming system, the packages/core contracts, a Fastify server skeleton, and a green CI pipeline.

Next: CHUNK #2 — Data Model, Storage & Auth.
