2025-12-06 — Slima’s first commit.
Week one. Slima goes from nothing to something you can actually write in. The whole foundation of a long-form writing tool came online in seven days.
Editor V1 — Tiptap + Markdown
The core. We tried Vditor mid-week before switching to Tiptap + markdown-it, because:
- Cursor behavior — more stable on long manuscripts
- Undo stack — matches a writer’s intuition
- CJK input — fewer compatibility quirks
What works:
- Basics — bold, italic, headings, blockquotes
- Advanced — lists, code blocks, links
- Quick input — paste markdown, auto-format
Cloud sync + Google login
Sign in with Google and start writing. Your manuscript lives on your device and on our servers at the same time, with three modes supported:
- Offline writing — no network needed
- Online sync — pushes automatically when you reconnect
- Cross-device handoff — pick up on any device
We shipped cloud sync on day one because the worst feeling for a writer is “I switched laptops and the draft is gone.”
DOCX / ePub import & export
Bring your old work into Slima, or hand off your draft to an editor.
| Action | Formats |
|---|---|
| Import | .docx, .epub, .txt, .md |
| Export | .docx, .epub, .pdf, .md |
Paragraph styles, chapter structure, and footnotes all survive the round trip.
PWA install
Slima has been a Progressive Web App since week one — a web app you can install like a native desktop app.
How to install:
- Open slima.ai in Chrome / Safari / Edge
- Click “Install” in the address bar
- Slima becomes a desktop app
No App Store. No installer. Native launch on every platform.
Multi-AI engine
Slima supports multiple AI models in parallel from day one.
Different models have different strengths:
- Dialogue — one model
- Character analysis — a different model
- Line edits — yet another model
Slima lets you pick the right tool for the task, instead of locking you to a single model.
Next week
Cloud sync graduates from prototype to a proper multi-device protocol; commit-level rate limiting goes in to protect heavy use.
