INKORA

Development updates

What's new in Inkora

Everything we've built and changed, grouped by the part of Inkora it belongs to. Dates before 7 October are approximate.

My Dashboard

Your books, chapters and manuscript tools.

  1. New

    Read your book one page at a time

    The book preview no longer scrolls forever. Your cover and chapters are laid out as pages, so a 50-page chapter is 50 slides you turn through.

    • Turn pages with the Left and Right arrow keys, swipe on a phone or trackpad, or use the arrows at the sides.
    • A slider and a "Page 3 of 30" counter show where you are and let you jump anywhere.
    • Every chapter starts on a fresh page, and the Contents menu jumps straight to a chapter.
    • Pages follow the page size, font and theme you chose for your manuscript.
  2. Improved

    The visibility setting now says who can read your chapters

    Under a book's visibility menu you now see exactly who can open and read it. Public stories can be read by anyone; community and unlisted stories by signed-in members; private stays yours alone.

  3. Improved

    Your canvas is saved

    Boards and canvases in your book now keep their layout between visits.

  4. New

    Writing goals

    Set a word goal and watch your progress build up as you write.

  5. New

    Version history

    Chapters keep earlier versions, so you can look back at, and return to, what you had before.

  6. New

    Interactive world map

    Upload a map of your world, then place a pin for each location. Click a pin to jump to that place's page.

  7. New

    Character arcs

    Plan and track how a character changes, with a Planned and an Observed track tied to chapters.

  8. New

    Connected locations

    Link places with routes and passages. Location pages also show the objects and events that happen there.

  9. New

    Relationship graph

    See all your characters and how they relate on one map, with canon and draft links marked.

  10. Improved

    Book workspace navigation

    The twelve-item book menu was reorganised around Write, Think, Build and Connect, so you can find things without a long row to scroll.

  11. New

    Objects, factions and world rules

    Track important items, groups and the rules of your world, each with its own pages. They're part of what the AI knows about your story.

  12. New

    Ask Inkora

    Ask questions about your own story ("when did Mara first meet Voss?") and get answers grounded in your characters, places and chapters.

  13. New

    Canon vs. draft

    Mark story facts as canon or still just a draft idea, so the continuity checker and Ask Inkora know what's settled.

  14. New

    Export your book

    Export your manuscript in several formats and publish settings, ready to share outside Inkora.

  15. New

    A rich-text manuscript editor

    Write in a real editor with bold, italic, underline, headings, quotes, lists and undo/redo, all with keyboard shortcuts. Word and character counts update as you type.

    • Chapters are saved as you write.
  16. New

    AI help that never writes for you

    Brainstorm, get unstuck, or have your continuity checked. The assistant reads your story bible so it knows your world, but it only offers directions and notes. Nothing is ever put into your manuscript automatically.

    • AI credits are tracked per plan so you always know what's left.
  17. New

    Story bible: characters, places and timeline

    Each book has a place for its characters, locations and timeline events, so the facts of your world live next to your chapters.
