A library for your work and how it came to be

Every creative work has a history.

Prelude documents the human creative process — alongside the editing, design, and AI tools that shape it.

A digital archive for drafts, revisions, notes, and prompt excerpts — timestamped and held together as a single provenance record, so the authorship of research and creative work is preserved as it evolves.

Community

A quiet commons inside the library — a place for sharing projects and meeting others working on their own archives. Small for now, growing slowly.
