The Projects page

The Projects page is where every book lives. It is the first screen after sign-in: create a new project here, then open any existing one to build its world, engineer its plot and write it. Each project is one book — its own world, cast, structure and prose, kept fully separate from the others.

The Storyum Projects page — the New-project form and project cards — The Projects page: the New-project form up top, then a card for each book.

What’s on this page

A “New project” block — name a book, choose its language, and create it.
A card for every project you own or that has been shared with you, each showing its language, cast and location counts, when it was last touched, and a setup-completeness bar.
Per-card actions: on your own projects — rename, duplicate, delete; on a project shared with you — only “Leave”.
The top bar: your three star balances (bronze · silver · gold), the interface-language switcher, help, and the account menu.

How to use it

1Type a name for the book (Latin letters, digits, “-” or “_”).
2Choose the book’s language.
3Press Create — the new project opens and you begin with its world and entities.
4Come back here any time to reopen, rename, duplicate or delete a project from its card.

New project

The create form at the top of the page. Two fields, then Create.

Project namename · text

The book’s name — and its identifier across the whole app.

AffectsBecomes the project’s slug: its address (…/projects/<name>) and the key every part of the project is filed under. It is sanitized as you type — spaces turn into hyphens and anything other than Latin letters, digits, “-” and “_” is dropped.

Use itUse a short Latin working title. Nothing is locked in — you can rename it later from the card.

ExampleThe_Ascent

Cyrillic and punctuation are stripped while you type, so a name entered in Russian can come out empty. Maximum 100 characters.

Book languagelanguage · select

The language the book itself is written in.

AffectsSets the language the whole pipeline writes in — structure, character bible and final prose all come out in this language. (Separate from the interface-language switcher in the top bar, which only changes the app’s own chrome.)

The project card

Below the create form, every project gets a card. The card is a read-out, not a form — it summarizes the project at a glance and carries the actions you can take on it. Click the card to open the project.

A project card: language badge, cast and location counts, last-touched time, setup bar, and owner actions — An owned project card — read-outs on the left, the owner actions (rename · duplicate · delete) on the right.

Language badge — the book’s language (as chosen at creation).
Cast count — how many Characters the project has.
Location count — how many Locations the project has.
Status & time — when the project was last touched, with an icon for its pipeline state — a check when a run has completed, a clock while one is running.
Setup bar — a rough completeness estimate — it climbs as the project gains a description, a cast and locations, and once the pipeline has run. It is a guide to how far along setup is, not a quality score.

Card actions — and who can do what

The buttons on a card depend on whether the project is yours or was shared with you:

Rename — change the project’s name (owner only).
Duplicate — make an independent copy of the whole project — world, cast and structure included (owner only).
Delete — remove the project for good (owner only).
Leave — on a project shared with you, step out of it — you keep no copy, and it is the only action a collaborator has.

Owner vs. shared. A project you created shows rename · duplicate · delete. A project someone else shared with you shows only Leave — collaborators can open and work in the book, but cannot rename, duplicate or delete it, because they don’t own it.

The top bar

Above the page, three balances show your stars — bronze, silverand gold. Stars are what operations spend; different tiers of work draw on different stars, and the balances refresh as you work. Beside them sit the interface-language switcher (which changes the app’s own text, not the book’s language), a help button, and your account menu.
