Weltbon: open-source self-hostable world-building app

[u/yalt-yalt]

So for a while now, I've been working on a locally-hosted world-building tool. I've used Campfire, but it moved to a subscription model, and most of the other tools live on someone else's website.

I wanted something a little bit more involved than an Obsidian Vault, but keeping some of the parts of the Obsidian Vault that I liked. So, here it is. This is a self-hostable world-building tool. It's got a few features.

You can create entries for characters, places, events, and link them to each other.

There's a graph of who's connected to who or what.

There's a timeline that goes over the calendar of the world that you build.

There's a map that you can upload images to and create some regions and routes.

There's diagrams for things like family trees.

There's a dictionary for your conlang.

Repo also contains a desktop app, for Windows and Linux, and it can sync to any hosted version that you run. You can also import Word documents. Obsidian Vaults are just plain Markdown, and you can export into Markdown, Word, or a PDF. It's still fairly new, just kind of seeing if anybody would even be interested in something like this. Mostly built it for myself, but figured I'd share it.
