Writer

Variant is the interactive fiction writer for the iepub stack.

Variant is built for authors who need more than a text area and a graph. It brings together structured chapters, choices, conditions, preview, and export so the writing workflow stays tied to the way the book will actually behave in the reader.

Workflow

Write, inspect, export, read

The strongest part of Variant is not a single editing widget. It is the continuity between authoring and reading. You can work on structure, inspect how navigation and conditions behave, export the book, and then open a real reader route to verify the result against the public experience.

Preview with intent

Preview is useful because it follows the same semantics the reader uses once the work is exported.

Export with less ambiguity

The writer is designed around the iepub structure, so export is part of the workflow rather than an afterthought.
