Hey lovelies~ ๐
Soโฆ I've been spending a lot of time in the CivitAI editor lately, and honestly? It has its quirks. Formatting breaks, you lose your text when you navigate away, pasting images is a whole adventureโฆ I just wanted to write nice articles without all that stress. So I kept adding features to my little desktop app until it turned into something much bigger than I planned ๐
That's why I renamed it: Bounty Manager is now ArticleHelper ๐
It still does everything it did before โ bounties, shoutouts, all of it โ but now it's a full-blown offline writing tool for CivitAI content creators. Here's what's new in v2.0.0:
โ๏ธ Brand-new Articles module
Write standalone articles completely independent from bounties! Great for tutorials, updates, announcements โ anything you want to post on CivitAI.
๐พ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐:
๐ Full Markdown editor with a rich toolbar โ headings, bold, italic, links, lists, quotes, all in one place
๐พ Autosave โ your work is saved automatically as you type, no more lost drafts
๐จ Unicode style fonts for headings โ choose from ๐ฎ๐ธ๐๐พ๐ ๐, ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐, ๐๐ฏ๐๐จ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฏ, and more to make your headings actually pop in the CivitAI editor (because regular headings are so boring ๐)
๐ผ๏ธ Article Image โ set a 850ร400 feature image with built-in cropping
๐๏ธ Image Pool โ drag & drop, paste (Ctrl+V), or click to add images; insert them into your article with one click
๐ Save History โ browse and restore previous versions of your article
๐ Copy as HTML โ write in clean Markdown, paste as perfectly formatted rich HTML directly into the CivitAI editor. Headings, bold text, links โ all preserved โจ
๐ฆ ZIP export โ download your article images neatly bundled for upload
๐ฝ๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ฎ ๐ผ๐ง๐ฉ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐ซ๐๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐จ
The feature image (850ร400) you set for the results article is now included in the ZIP export
Introduction and conclusion text is now saved automatically when you navigate between steps โ no more losing your carefully written text ๐ค
๐ฌ Bounty Post ZIP export
In the Bounty Post modal you can now download your preview images as a ZIP directly โ no more hunting through folders before posting on CivitAI~
โจ ArticleHelper 2.5.0 is here and we need to talk about Story Mode!! โจ
Okay so I've been working on this update for a while and honestly the thing I'm most excited about is something I've wanted since day one โ a proper visual story planning canvas ๐ฅน
๐ Story Mode โ Plan Your Whole Universe on a Canvas
If you write multi-part stories, sequels, spin-offs, side stories โ you know how fast it gets confusing trying to keep track of what connects to what. Story Mode fixes that.
Open any Universe, go to Planning, and you get a real visual map of all your stories:
Drag Story Nodes freely around the canvas to arrange your universe however makes sense to you
Draw arrows between nodes to show sequels, prequels, side stories, spin-offsโฆ
Group related nodes into colored Story Arcs that show as background regions on the canvas
Click any node to open the Planning Drawer โ type, status, cast, scene sequence, notes, idea fragments, all in one place
When you're editing an article that's linked to a story node, that node glows purple on the canvas so you always know where you are ๐
Pan the canvas with click & drag, no more awkward scrolling
This is genuinely my favorite part of the whole app now and I use it every single day ๐บ๏ธ
Also new in 2.5.0 (the quick list):
๐ Article Translations โ Multiple language versions of any article, right in the editor
๐ Paste from HTML โ Copy from any website, paste into the editor, auto-converts to Markdown
๐๏ธ Preview Follow Position โ Live preview scrolls along with your cursor
โ๏ธ Split Story โ Article got too long? Set your cursor, split, done
๐ General Info
โข Windows, macOS and Linux
โข Completely free โ always
โข Built with love & obsession ๐ท
