Deep Writer is a nonlinear, AI-assisted narrative engine designed for visual thinking and complex storytelling.
This repository currently contains Node Writer V1.1, a lightweight Proof of Concept (PoC) that serves as the technical foundation for the broader Deep Writer vision.
Node Writer: https://github.com/nathanfx330/node-writer https://nathanfx330.github.io/blog/posts/node-writer/
It combines:
- A distraction-free visual node graph
- Local, private AI text generation
- Nonlinear narrative construction
Ideal for:
- Interactive fiction
- Game writing & dialogue systems
- Branching narratives
- Story architecture & planning
All AI processing runs locally using your own models.
Native integration with Ollama.
Automatically detects locally installed models (such as gemma3:12b, llama3, etc.) and enables:
- Rewriting
- Brainstorming
- Narrative expansion
- Context-aware generation from compiled story paths
Optional strict system prompt mode forcing the AI to output only raw story text.
Removes conversational filler such as:
“Sure! Here is your rewritten version…”
Freely pan and zoom across an unlimited workspace to organize narrative structures visually.
Connect scenes using Bézier curves to clearly map story flow and decision paths.
Minimal formatting support inside a distraction-free editor:
- Bold
- Italic
- Instantly preview compiled narrative paths
- Export selected story flows seamlessly
Rename nodes to match your workflow:
Scenes • Passages • Beats • Cards • Dialogue • Anything
Runs natively on:
- Linux
- Windows
- macOS
