## Introduction

[Novel](https://novel.sh/) is a Notion-style WYSIWYG editor with AI-powered autocompletions.

https://github.com/steven-tey/novel/assets/28986134/2099877f-4f2b-4b1c-8782-5d803d63be5c

## Deploy Your Own

You can deploy your own version of Novel to Vercel with one click:

[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://stey.me/novel-deploy)

## Setting Up Locally

To set up Novel locally, you'll need to clone the repository and set up the following environment variables:

- `OPENAI_API_KEY` – your OpenAI API key (you can get one [here](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys))
- `BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN` – your Vercel Blob read/write token (currently [still in beta](https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-blob/quickstart#quickstart), but feel free to [sign up on this form](https://vercel.fyi/blob-beta) for access)

If you've deployed this to Vercel, you can also use [`vc env pull`](https://vercel.com/docs/cli/env#exporting-development-environment-variables) to pull the environment variables from your Vercel project.

To run the app locally, you can run the following commands:

```
pnpm i
pnpm dev
```

## Cross-framework support

- Svelte: https://novel.sh/svelte
- Vue: https://novel.sh/vue

## VSCode Extension
