A local-first editorial review workspace for Obsidian.
Editorialist imports structured revision notes — from human editors, beta readers, or AI — into the manuscript you are already editing, matches suggestions conservatively against note content, and keeps every manuscript change explicit and author-controlled.
These are commitments, not defaults:
- No hidden network requests, no account, no telemetry. Everything runs in your vault.
- Notes are only modified when you act. Importing a batch, applying a suggestion, cleaning review blocks, or running a maintenance action — nothing else writes to your manuscript.
- Bulk maintenance actions require confirmation.
- Backup export writes contributor + revision metadata only — never manuscript text.
- Cut text is archived, not destroyed. Accepted cuts can be preserved in per-scene cut files with full attribution.
You (or the review launcher's template button) hand a reviewer the format specification; they return suggestions as a review block or an Editorialism file; you import the batch through the launcher; then you walk the suggestions in a guided review sweep — accepting, rejecting, rewriting, or deferring each one — while Editorialist tracks per-scene progress, per-contributor acceptance stats, and revision history.
