Character Map | Relationship Chart | Novel Planner | Story Bible for Writers

An interactive character map and relationship chart for novelists — a living node graph of your cast and the bonds between them. Part character bible, part novel planner, built for writers who keep the romance, the betrayal and the secret debt all tangled together in one head and need a place to lay it down.

You drop in your characters. You draw the lines between them — Love, Hate, Family, Debt, Secret, Alliance, Rivalry. You set the intensity, mark which acts each bond is active in, and flag the secret ones the reader does not know yet. The web rearranges itself. Drag the nodes wherever you want them.

Click on anyone to see every thread tied to their throat.

It is one HTML file. It runs offline. Your work lives in your browser, on your machine, in your hands.

✦ WHAT YOU GET

— One self-contained HTML dashboard — no installs, no accounts, no cloud
— Interactive character map powered by vis-network — nodes are characters, edges are relationships
— Edge thickness scales with intensity (1–5); hidden relationships render as dashed lines
— Side panel that opens on click — full character profile or full relationship sheet
— Tabs for the Web, the Characters list, the Relationships list, and Settings
— Filter the entire graph by Act 1, Act 2 or Act 3 — see which bonds are live where
— Eight-color palette for characters, with a free-text role field
— Export and import the whole story as a single JSON file
— Three themes: Dark, Parchment, Slate
— Three languages: English, Portuguese (BR), Italian
— A seeded demo cast (dark romance) you can wipe with one click — or bring back later, if you want to see the example again

✦ WHO IT IS FOR

A relationship chart for romance writers tracking the slow burn between five different ships. A worldbuilding tool for fantasy writers with a court of twenty and a king with three secrets. A character tracker for mystery writers who need to see who owes whom before the body drops.

Anyone who has ever opened a notebook, drawn a circle, then a line, and then realized they were going to need a bigger page.

If you have ever lost the plot because you forgot who knew what, this is for you.

✦ HOW IT WORKS

Open the HTML file in any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. Replace the demo cast with your own: names, roles, colors, notes. Add the bonds between them — pick a type, set intensity, mark the acts. Drag the nodes around until the layout reads the way your story feels.

Save the file, back it up, take it anywhere. It is yours.

✦ WHAT IS INCLUDED

— relationship-web.html — the dashboard
— relationship-web-usage-guide.pdf — usage guide
— relationship-web-license.pdf — personal commercial license

✦ SPECS

Format: HTML (single file) plus 2 PDFs. Everything the graph needs is inside the file itself — the layout engine, the fonts, all of it — so it works with no connection at all, not just after the first load.

No subscriptions, no logins, no expiry. All data stored locally in your browser. Compatible with Mac, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS. Works on tablet and phone too, though a wider screen is easier for dragging the web around.

One-time purchase, lifetime use. This is a story planner and character bible in one — a piece of writing software that respects your process instead of replacing it.

✦ A NOTE ON YOUR WORK

Your web lives in the browser you opened the file with, so use the same one each time. Export a JSON backup before you switch computers or clear your browsing data — a cast of twenty with every bond mapped is not something you want to rebuild from memory.

✦ LICENSE

Personal commercial license. Use it on your own novels and screenplays, including ones you sell. Do not resell or redistribute the file itself. Full terms in the included PDF.

✦ A NOTE FROM DAELIN CREATIONS

We build the tools we wish we had when we were trying to keep our own stories straight. No fluff. No subscriptions. No "AI-powered." Just the file, the structure, the work.

AI-assisted: product content, code and listing images are produced with AI tools. Concept, structure and creative direction are my own.
