Every technical writer faces a consistent frustration that has nothing to do with content creation.

It's that frustrating 20-minute gap between completing a draft and actually publishing it. We call this the Formatting Tax. You finish your content in a focused editor, try to move it to WordPress, Substack, or Medium, and then the trouble begins: headers look wrong, image references break, and your carefully formatted code snippets become unreadable.

Today, we're launching Writtte to eliminate this inefficiency once and for all.

Technical Architecture of Writtte

Writtte is a clean, distraction-free writing environment built for modern publishing workflows. It came from solving a real problem that many of us face: content creation is challenging enough without technical headaches getting in the way of sharing your work.

The heart of Writtte is our Export Engine, built with Go for backend operations and TypeScript for the frontend, with Bun as the JavaScript runtime. Instead of just copying text, Writtte maps the actual structure of your content elements - headers, links, lists, and images - making sure they look exactly right when they arrive in your destination platform.

Technical Stack:

Backend: Built in Go for lightning-fast performance
Frontend: Pure TypeScript with Bun runtime - no bloated frameworks
Database: PostgreSQL for reliable data storage and content versioning
Infrastructure: Optimized for AWS deployment

We've designed everything to keep infrastructure costs low even as you scale up your content operations. Every part of the stack was chosen for its performance and efficiency.

Open Source Release

We believe writing tools should be transparent and accessible to everyone. That's why we're excited to announce Writtte as an open-source project. Check out the license file in our repository for the full details.

By making our code public, we're aiming to:

Build Trust: See exactly how your content is handled
Expand Export Options: Help us add support for more platforms like Ghost, LinkedIn, GitHub, and others
Get Real Feedback: Try our formatting engine and tell us how we can make it better

The repository is live now. You can clone it, run it locally with minimal setup, and start writing your next piece today.

What's Coming: Writtte SaaS

This open source release is just the beginning. While the core editor and export engines will always remain free and open, we're building a premium SaaS version with features for professional content creators.

Development Timeline

Here's what you can expect from us:

Today: Open source release with core functionality
Coming Soon: New features will be released one by one after this initial version
Launch: Comprehensive development documentation will be published when we launch the SaaS application
