The Bookshelf

The Bookshelf is your home in Inkweld — a visual library of all your writing projects, displayed as a collection of book covers.

Your Project Library

When you log in, you'll see your projects displayed as book covers on a virtual bookshelf:

Project Covers

Each project appears as a book cover on the shelf:

  • Custom covers — Upload your own cover image for a personalized look
  • Generated covers — Projects without a custom cover display a styled placeholder with the project title

Collaboration Indicator

Projects shared with you by other users display a group icon badge, making it easy to distinguish your own projects from collaborative ones. Hover over the badge to see who shared the project with you.

Top Bar

The top navigation provides quick access to:

  • Search — Find projects by title (click the search icon on mobile)
  • + Create — Start a new project
  • User Menu — Access your settings, messages, and logout

Mobile View

On mobile devices, the bookshelf adapts to a scrollable carousel view:
