+ Notebook.ai is a digital replacement for the paper notebooks we've filled up over the years. Rather than jotting down paper notes + about characters, locations, and things in your worlds, Notebook.ai helps you create detailed, dedicated pages for each of your ideas that can + be revised over time, linked together, searched, organized, tagged, and more. +
++ By going digital, your new notebook is able to take advantage of a ton of "features" you wouldn't get with plain paper. +
- Most creatives have at least one old notebook lying around somewhere, full of old plots, interesting characters, monsters, - enchanting locations, or a myriad of other margin-scribbled thoughts. Others have piles of old "plot idea" - documents in their favorite cloud storage. Others still have their brilliant, rich worlds fermenting in their heads. -
-- - Notebook.ai is a worldbuilding tool that organizes, saves, and helps in fully fleshing out your fictional worlds, your way. - -
-- Your digital notebook takes full advantage of being just that — digital. Instead of fitting notes in the margins of - pages past, you'll always have space to expand every idea. Instead of reading backward in your notes to remember who gave your character a - legendary sword, every little detail about them is organized and just a click away. You don't need to flip around - the pages in your old notebook to jump from a character to their birthplace to other characters born there; every "link" between - your ideas is a real link, and lets you click to jump from one to the next. -
-- It's actually really easy. Just sign up and create something — anything — and you're doing it right. +
+ When you create a universe on Notebook.ai, you're creating a folder in which you + can put your other notebook pages into.
-- Most users start by creating a universe to hold everything they create afterwards. You can call it your campaign's title, - "My Universe", or whatever you want. You'll be prompted to enter a description and a few other questions, but everything's - entirely optional. -
-- Once you have a universe, try creating a character or two for your main characters. You'll notice the process of creating - a notebook page is exactly the same regardless of what type of page you're creating. You click create, you're presented with a bunch of - optional fields to fill out about it, and you're done. You can create a location for where your adventure takes place, and - items for any relevant objects or trinkets in your plot. -
-- Once you've got the basics, just expand outward for your campaign! Right now, there are nine different page types you can - create in Notebook.ai. +
+ Organizing your pages into universes automatically empowers your worldbuilding process with a few useful features:
+- In addition to the page types detailed above, you can also create Universes. -
-- You can think of a universe as a bucket of time or space: a literal universe, a world, a country, a time period, even just the park down the street — your universe contains everything related - to the plot you're building, and lets you focus entirely on just what's relevant right now, even when you plan multiple campaigns or worlds in Notebook.ai. -
-- When you create a character, a location, or anything else within Notebook.ai, you'll be asked what universe it belongs to. When you visit that universe's page in your notebook later, you'll see everything inside it from one convenient place. -
-- By default, every notebook page you create is private, for your eyes only, and completely owned by you. -
-- However, if you're sharing a world or campaign with your players, you may want to give them access to the world they're playing - in. We offer two different ways to share pages with players that should make it easy to use Notebook.ai with friends. -
-- Every Notebook.ai page has a "share" button that, when clicked, gives you the option to toggle privacy for that page or the - privacy of the universe it belongs to. You're given the URL to that page to share, and others can see what you see (but not - edit!) by visiting the shareable URL. As long as either the page they're visiting or the universe it belongs to is - public, they'll be able to see the page. -
-- You can also choose to share your entire universe at once, which will make it and each page within it visible to your - players from a single, simple switch (that you can flip either way at any time!). Doing so instantly creates a miniature wiki - for your universe, which allows viewers to browse between linked content and jump from page to page within your world. -
-- If you decide to make a page or universe private later, you can simply toggle the same switch and your pages become immediately - inaccessible to anyone other than yourself — even if they still have the URL. -
-- Having an in-depth reference while campaigning lets you quickly look up even the smallest of details when you need them and - keep the flow of gameplay uninterrupted. You'll never again have to flip backward to find out what reward Simon promised, or what - city you said Elise was from. Everything you need is organized and at your fingertips. -
-- If you're not the type to build your world out completely before playing, Notebook.ai can also be used during an active campaign - for the same kind of references. Each time you introduce a new character, simply create a character page for them (it's fast!). - When you describe anything about them, you can jot it down in its rightful place and you can then refer back to it later. -
-- And, of course, if the default fields don't cover every little detail of your world, you can always create new categories - and fields on any content type, like "biggest weakness" on characters or "yet-to-be-discovered treasures" for locations. - It's your world — track anything you want! -
- -- Whether you're in the initial idea stage or further along and looking to save reference material, Notebook.ai allows image - uploads to any notebook pages you create. -
-- You'll notice that any images you upload are featured across the site, from your dashboard to individual notebook pages. - In addition to a Gallery tab on content that shows off every image uploaded to it, you'll also see slideshows banners - at the top of your notebook pages highlighting the images you upload — and you may even see a character peeking - back at you from your dashboard from time to time! -
-- Free users start with 50MB of storage space that can be used to upload any size of image. Premium users are boosted an additional - 10GB of storage space. You can delete any image at any time to reclaim and reuse its space. -
-- Because Notebook.ai is smart, we help out whenever we can when you link two pages together. -
-- Family trees are a great example of this. If you created a small family of three — say, Alice and Bob and their son - Carl — you can link them together with each character's Family tab. The fields there allow you to select from other - characters you've created in that universe and set relationships, like father, mother, sibling, spouse, or child. -
-- When you're editing Alice and say Bob's her spouse and Carl's her son, we automatically edit Bob and Carl's pages also. - For Bob, we know (and save) that Alice is his spouse; and for Carl, we automatically detect what gender Alice is and note that - Alice is his mother. It all happens automatically, so your family trees almost build themselves. -
-- You'll see similar "deep linking" when creating Locations or Groups. Creating sub-groups will automatically create parent groups, alliances and rivalships will automatically save to all groups involved, and nesting locations within each other will automatically link back to the parent location as well. -

-- Creating core notebook pages (universes, characters, locations, and items) is free and doesn't require - any payment information to start creating your novel's world immediately upon signup. Free users, however, - are restricted to five universes to get started with. -
-- We believe this trifecta of people, places, and things covers most worlds, but serious worldbuilders often opt - to pay for a Premium membership, which unlocks six additional ways to worldbuild — namely creatures, races, - religions, groups, magic, and languages. -
-- Premium memberships are $9.00, billed monthly, and allow you to create unlimited amounts of any type of content. - Additionally, a Premium subscription also increases your image upload storage from 50MB to 10GB. -

+- We launched Notebook.ai last - October and we've been iterating fast based on the feedback of thousands of users excited to have a smart tool for - their worldbuilding. While we focused primarily on authors to begin with, many users have told us we're a fantastic solution - for managing campaigns and keeping players up to date. -
-- Other campaign management software tends to focus more on the gameplay experience rather deep worldbuilding, but we've - compiled a feature comparison chart comparing to the most popular worldbuilding and campaign management software available - so you can decide which is best for you. -
-+ Notebook.ai automatically generates questions about the pages you've created and politely asks for answers. When you answer any prompt, + that answer is automatically saved to the relevant page. +
++ You'll also notice other helpful features around the site that assist in the more mundane aspects of worldbuilding, freeing you up to + do the fun work. +

+ For more advanced worldbuilders, an optional Premium subscription unlocks <%= Rails.application.config.content_types[:premium].count %> additional page types + that help you give life to your world in incredible detail. +

- You do, 100%. We've written more about this <%= link_to 'in our privacy policy', privacy_policy_path %>.
+
+ You're in full control of what pages are public and what pages are private. You can present as little or as
+ much of your world to your players as you'd like — and change anything at any time.
- Additionally, all content is private by default and only accessible by you. When you click the "share" link on any content,
- you're given the option to mark either that individual page or the universe it lives in as "public" or "private". A public universe
- allows viewers to click around and see every page in that universe, while a public page in a private universe allows only that
- page to be viewed. You can mark anything private again at any time and it will be instantly applied.
+
+ If you want to share some control of your world with your players, you can invite them as collaborators
+ to your universe. This reveals all of the pages in the universe to them and lets them make edits. Each
+ edit is logged so you can review who changed what.
+
+ If you prefer to use other software for managing your campaign, Notebook.ai supports several different
+ formats to completely export all of your notebook data, letting you take it wherever you go.
