I make a stupid decision to decide to make a (fic) writing app, cheers

Well now, I know there's like tons of them out there in the market. A lot of them are good! And even free (or have pretty good free versions)! A reddit thread I found have a few very good ones, you guys can check it out! (I'll add my own two cents later :3)

But look, the only thing I want to do, is to have a place when I can throw my ideas into a list (like what I'm did in my notes app) then auto convert it to a document when I feel like I want to write it. None of them (or at least, what I saw/found) have it!

To do that, I set up a Google Form-Google Sheets system so I can just fill in the form when I get some thoughts™. Then when I feel like I want to add another WIP to my ever-growing list of WIPs, I'll just open the associated sheet, see what idea I would like to write, then create a Google Docs and copy/paste the idea there.

Easy, right? Problem solved?

No, not really. For me, there're a few problems with this.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

The Problem(s)™

The process of opening Google Forms takes forever to load (depending on my Internet) and I have a goldfish memory. What are the odds that I forget my ideas by then.

(Just use phone notes app then) But I'm in the mood to type my fic in a computer 😔😔 I don't wanna copy my prompt there to a doc via phone, or worse, retype it out. There's like 4 steps there at least! I'll lose my motivation by then!

Google Sheets has this problem where the text refuses to wrap properly if you add a long text (my ideas are sometimes a few hundred words of rambling y'know). So whenever I decided to grace the sheet with my presence, I'll need to reformat the wrap if I wanna read what I wrote. That's 1 whole extra step.

I'll need to open at least two tabs here, 1. my sheet file, 2. open a new docs file

Look, they're all pretty minor inconveniences imo, but I'm 1. a lazy mf and 2. a tired mf

So, I made a decision any sane person with a job and 0-energy would do - I thought "Hey, why don't I make my own?".

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

And thus begin the brain-storming

Ok, look I'm not that good at UX/UI designing. I figure that should be the first step so I went and watch a few video and stumbled upon Juxtopposed's world's shortest UI/UX design course (it's pretty great, do check it out!). Simple, quick, concise - perfect.

First, I started with designing the user flow. I planned out a general idea of what I want my app to do and how it would flow from there starting from the landing all the way to when users save their work and exit the app.

Boy, I sure hope I did that correctly.

This generally is made up of user actions (except for landing). You may notice how it's mostly AO3 focused because yes, I'm using this just for AO3 - as in I stopped using fanfiction.net, Wattpad and Quotev a long time ago.

I did get some inspirations for some of the features from other existing apps. Like:

Scriever - it's paid, but most people say it's a godsend but personally, I've never tried it. I think it pioneered the scenes idea tho.

Manuskript - Free open-sourced version of Scriever basically! They also have words and phrase frequency analyser and I think that's pretty neat!

MyStory.today - I like the idea that you can edit and view multiple scenes at once but the writing UI itself feels kinda clunky? It feels bothersome to add a new scene below my current one. But free version is enough and that's pretty nice. Oh yeah, not sure if it's just me, or it's kinda laggy

Wavemaker - ok this actually a great one! Everyone should give it a chance! But again, too complicated to just add one simple idea when I just wake up for instance.

Story Plotter - This one is nice. It actually have a idea to story button but, why are there... so many things... to choose before I can start writing the story. Granted, all of them are optional and you can just spam skip... a whole 7 times (unless it's a freeform, in that case, 4 times). But this provides a nice idea to combine more than 1 ideas into one plot tho. Also, not my style

Campfire - Is nice, there's so much things you can customize! But well, the free version can be quite limiting, like what if I need more than 25k words :(

Notion - Ok, here me out, it's not a great idea to write multi-chapters long fics here exactly without some amount of setting up too. BUT I love the markdown system here and I wanted to include it.

Do try some of them out, maybe you'll find your new writing app soulmate, who knows?

So... about the user flow diagram

I'm making this app because of two main features, ok maybe three, that I want to make my life easier and make me happier.

The ideas being converted and directly stored in my writing doc.

Being able to use markdowns to type unlike google docs *squint eyes*

Copying the whole chapter in HTML so I can just throw it in AO3 and click update without worrying about forgetting the formatting OR having to go to those docs to HTML converters.

And a secret fourth thing to maaaaaybe include things like chats, boxes, and other workskin related things

Oh, yes and how could I forgot, syncing progress across multiple devices

So I want to implement auto-save features (well, at least when you're connected to the internet, else it'll save locally first). The database I'm thinking to store these should be the user's own google drive (but that would required the user to sign in to their drive first).

Inversely, I'm thinking if the user did edit the doc in the drive, it should reflect in the app too, so I'll need to think about that. But the idea is that one chapter should be stored in one doc, and then separated by a scene separator symbol (I'll figure this out) to break it into scenes in the actual app. That may be a bit messy to edit in docs though so maybe a traditional folder + docs might suffice but then, there's also a space constraint, where there is too much scenes. That's probably where the web services come in.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

And, oh! another diagram!

Ok look, the user flow made perfect sense to me while I was making it. After looking at it again while writing this... In hindsight, I should also make a screen/page flow diagram, or sitemap, so here it is! So- ta-da~!

So this should be the whole flow of screens for the app. There may be more screens in the future but for now I think this should be it!

The app mainly just consist of -

The home page - which displays ALL your works/books

The ideas page - which is basically my notes app for, well, ideas, word vomit, random shower thoughts about how much you want a fictional character to be xxx

The writing page - which will be the main working space, the rest of the pages like references, characters, places, timeline, chapters and individual scenes can be accessed easily from this page too

The profile page - well, it's your profile! Access your profile settings, change themes, work space settings or what you want to copy in your html here - maybe add friends for collabs and betas in the future? We'll see

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

And that's it! ...For now

Oh my god, I'll admit, this post went on longer than I expected haha. That's all that I have to share for now! Next up, I'll get started on the wireframing process (moodboards? hunting down apps? reddit???? ok nevermind, reddit sounds like a bad idea). I know I kept calling it app, but I think I want it to have an app, windows, (macs?) and web version.

Thanks for making it this far and reading it all!

AI Model Integration for Apps: A Complete Developer’s Guide to Smarter Applications

In today’s digital-first world, applications are becoming smarter, faster, and more personalized thanks to the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Whether you're a solo developer or part of a product team, embedding AI into your app can dramatically enhance its performance, usability, and value. From predictive analytics to voice recognition and recommendation systems, AI Model Integration for Apps is now a key strategy in modern app development.

What Is AI Model Integration? AI model integration refers to the process of incorporating machine learning models into software applications so they can make intelligent decisions based on data. These models are trained to perform tasks such as identifying images, predicting trends, understanding natural language, or automating responses—without the need for explicit programming for every possible scenario. When properly implemented, AI transforms static apps into dynamic, adaptive tools that continue to learn and improve over time.

Benefits of AI Integration in App Development

Personalized User Experiences: AI helps tailor content, notifications, and interactions based on user behavior, preferences, and usage patterns.

Smarter Automation: Repetitive tasks like sorting emails, flagging spam, or generating responses can be automated, saving time and effort.

Faster Decision-Making: Real-time analytics powered by AI models offer quick insights that improve user satisfaction and engagement.

Reduced Human Error: In fields like finance, healthcare, and logistics, AI models help catch inconsistencies or anomalies that might go unnoticed.

Enhanced Accessibility: Features such as speech-to-text, voice commands, and intelligent assistants make apps more inclusive and user-friendly.

Practical Use Cases of AI in Apps

E-commerce Apps: Recommending products based on user activity, managing inventory, and detecting fraudulent transactions.

Health & Fitness Apps: Predicting health trends, monitoring vital stats, and suggesting routines.

Travel Apps: Suggesting personalized travel itineraries or predicting flight delays.

Chat Applications: Implementing AI chatbots for 24/7 customer support.

Finance Apps: Detecting unusual activity, automating spending reports, and offering budget advice.

Steps for AI Model Integration The process of integrating AI models typically follows these steps:

Define the Problem: Decide what you want the AI model to do—recommend products, interpret voice commands, detect faces, etc.

Collect and Prepare Data: The model’s performance depends on high-quality data. Clean, labeled datasets are crucial.

Choose or Build a Model: You can either use pre-trained models from platforms like TensorFlow, PyTorch, or OpenAI, or build your own using custom datasets.

Train the Model: If you're not using a pre-trained model, train your model using machine learning algorithms relevant to your problem.

Deploy the Model: This can be done through APIs (such as REST APIs) or mobile SDKs, depending on your app’s environment.

Integrate with the App: Embed the model in your codebase and create endpoints or interfaces for your app to interact with it.

Test and Monitor: Evaluate the model’s accuracy, adjust for edge cases, and continuously monitor its performance in the real world. For a complete breakdown with code snippets, platform options, and common pitfalls to avoid, visit the full guide on AI Model Integration for Apps.

Popular Tools and Libraries for AI Integration

TensorFlow Lite: Designed for deploying machine learning models on mobile and embedded devices.

PyTorch Mobile: Offers a flexible and dynamic framework ideal for rapid prototyping and model deployment.

ML Kit by Google: A set of mobile SDKs that bring on-device machine learning to Android and iOS.

OpenAI API: Provides access to advanced language models like GPT, perfect for chatbots and text generation.

Amazon SageMaker: Helps build, train, and deploy machine learning models at scale with built-in support for APIs.

Best Practices for AI Model Integration

Start Small: Focus on integrating a single AI-powered feature before scaling.

Use Lightweight Models: Especially for mobile apps, use compressed or distilled models to maintain performance.

Prioritize User Privacy: Be mindful of how you collect and process user data and comply with data laws like GDPR and CCPA.

Maintain Transparency: Ensure users understand how AI is being used, especially when decisions impact their experience.

Test for Bias and Accuracy: Audit models regularly to prevent biased or inaccurate outcomes.

Future Trends in AI App Integration Expect more apps offering real-time sentiment analysis, emotion detection, personalized coaching, and integration with AR/VR. Cross-platform intelligence will also rise, where an app learns from your entire digital ecosystem.

Final Thoughts The power of AI lies in its ability to adapt, learn, and improve—qualities that, when integrated into apps, drive significant value for users. From increasing efficiency to delivering personalized experiences, AI model integration helps apps stand out in a crowded market.
