As a full-stack freelancer, I’m developing Story Branch, an AI-powered writing suite for authors and worldbuilders. I iterated through 21 development versions and shipped a standalone desktop build to early testers for feedback.
Story Branch brings together a branching story canvas, character customization, a world builder, and a plot planner. Its background AI extracts and organizes characters, locations, and lore into searchable codex cards, and it connects with Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, and local models.
I’m migrating the frontend from vanilla JavaScript to React and evaluating Java Spring Boot for a backend that can support both locally hosted desktop and cloud SaaS offerings. I use structured specs, rapid prototypes, and living AGENTS.md guardrails to keep iteration fast while maintaining architectural discipline.
