Vela

Vela is an open-source, privacy-first AI writing IDE built for long-form fiction, web novels, and creative writing workflows. It combines outline generation, chapter drafting, rewriting, review, and local RAG knowledge features inside an Electron/React application, while letting writers use their own API keys instead of handing a full manuscript to a closed SaaS editor. The tool is aimed at web fiction authors, indie novelists, and creative professionals who want structured AI assistance without losing control of data and project context. Vela stands out because it treats novel writing like an integrated development environment: project files, world context, drafting, and review sit in one local workspace. Its recent GitHub traction makes it a strong writing-assistant listing.

codemap is an MIT-licensed project brain for AI coding tools that gives LLMs instant architectural context from your codebase without burning tokens. It generates a fast tree/context view, dependency flow, dependency blast-radius analysis, and a layered handoff format for cross-agent continuation, then exposes everything through a JSON context bundle and an MCP server compatible with Claude Code and Codex. A built-in Codex plugin and community skill registry make it easy to install and share. Developers use codemap to onboard agents to large repos in seconds, keep session continuity across handoffs, and scope the impact of a change before running it.
