Users

Errata is for novelists and roleplay or chat-fiction writers building long-form work over months. They care about prose quality, voice, world consistency, and continuity. Many are power users who configure models, edit prompt blocks, or write plugins, but they come to Errata primarily to write with a capable model collaborator.

Product Purpose

Errata helps writers turn story ideas, reference material, and existing prose into coherent story continuations. Its fragment system keeps characters, guidelines, knowledge, and prose editable and reusable while the interface keeps attention on the writing. Success means a writer can develop a story from an uncertain starting point without first learning the application's internal structure.

Brand Personality

Aesthetic, utilitarian, and craft-forward. Errata should feel like working with a trusted collaborator in an old, beautiful library: intimate, serious, and visibly cared for. Its voice is confident and specific without becoming precious or theatrical.

Anti-references

  • SillyTavern's broad, settings-heavy experience.
  • Generic AI chat products built around cyan-on-charcoal, blue-purple gradients, sparkle icons, and interchangeable chat bubbles.
  • SaaS dashboard patterns such as card grids, hero metrics, pill overload, and decorative status chrome.
  • Model-driven flows that force users to translate an early idea into rigid application fields before the model can help.

Design Principles

  1. Keep the writer's attention on the developing story, not the application's data model.
  2. Use progressive disclosure for structure and power features.
  3. Give every control a clear purpose and specific label.
  4. Preserve a bookish, slightly analog character while keeping interactions familiar.
  5. Let the model collaborate and propose, while keeping every saved decision visible and editable.

Accessibility & Inclusion

Target WCAG 2.2 AA. Maintain keyboard access, visible focus, sufficient contrast in every theme, usable touch targets, and screen-reader labels for controls and live model output. Respect reduced-motion preferences and avoid communicating state by color alone.
