Metrists

Metrists transforms markdown files into published artifacts. It handles the conversion, formatting, and publishing so you can write and delivery continuously.

The project has three components:

• Editor: A desktop application for writing and publishing
• CLI: Command-line tools for automation and scripting
• Git integration: Version control for tracking changes and collaborating

Your content stays in plain markdown files. You own your work. No proprietary formats. No lock-in.

Core Principles

Incremental publishing: Content evolves. Publish chapters as you write them. Update content after release. Track changes with git.

File-first: Text files are portable, universal, and future-proof. Your content will always be in Markdown; it’s just the artifacts that change.

Automation: Set up a publishing workflow once. Publish continuously, book updates automatically.
