Nib The dynamic manuscript editor
Grammar checkers read for errors. Nib reads the way an editor does: for what a draft lets the reader see, hear and touch, who in it is speaking and to whom, where its pressure builds and where it slackens. Paste a story, a chapter or a poem, and every measurement updates as you type. Nothing you write leaves your browser.

- What Nib measures, above
- How it handles prose and verse: verse is detected by line shape, and stanzas replace scenes
For members · Fellowship and above
- The spectrum: your whole text on one line, with scene or stanza bands and a pressure curve that marks its peak
- Senses and noticing: sense counts, image domains, simile vehicles and point-of-view mismatches
- People: who speaks to whom, how address moves scene by scene, apostrophe and vocatives, named and implied people, and who is never shown perceiving
- Scenes and cast: scene breaks, cast per scene, dialogue share
- Your draft saved in this browser between visits
- Arriving: the AI deep read (conflicts, subtext, suggestions at scene, act and book scale) and comparison with the Poetic.ly shelf
