This project addresses the need for a comprehensive, integrated desktop application for novel writing, combining professional writing tools with advanced planning and AI-assisted features. It targets novel creators, scriptwriters, and world-builders, offering a streamlined workflow and enhanced creative efficiency.

How It Works Built on Electron and Vue 3, 51mazi provides a fully localized desktop environment. Its core features a TipTap-based rich text editor for writing, augmented by real-time statistics and AI text polishing/continuation. Planning tools include Canvas-based map design, relationship graphs, character profiles, and timelines. AI capabilities, powered by DeepSeek and Tongyi Wanxiang, extend to intelligent naming, cover generation, character illustration, and scene image creation, requiring user-provided API keys.

Quick Start & Requirements Installation involves npm install for dependencies, followed by npm run dev for development or npm run build:<platform> for executables. AI features require DeepSeek and Tongyi Wanxiang API keys. No specific hardware like GPUs or CUDA versions are mandated for core functionality. Official website: www.51mazi.com.
