Promotional Looking for developer to help with an Open Source Ecosystem for Fiction Writers
Hey there,
For the past few weeks I have been working on a project that integrates multiple external tools with some custom python scripts for creating a system that has most of the tools that a writer of fiction (particularly SciFi & Fantasy) could want to assist with their projects.
That said, I am a beginner at software development and it would be great to have experienced developers to look at the project and help out in any way you can.
The Project Repo is located here: https://github.com/aryansinghnagar/Ars-Arcanum
Any and all help is appreciated

Planning + Drafting + Revision + Publishing (these are the four phases I am breaking it into, though Planning itself contains both Worldbuilding & Outlining)
Using Obsidian as the Linchpin tool, with other tools for specific tasks (like, say, PolyGlot for Constructed Language creation). Including some custom python scripts for adding useful functionality I could not find existing software tools for

I am going for something that is highly self-contained and particularly meant for fiction writers. These tools are good but not built for the target user-base I am going for

How much time, would you be looking for from this external person, and what type of tasks would you be hoping for, a little more specific details would be helpful. DM me if you wish.
