Simple things should be simple, and difficult things should be possible.
Crafting tools and systems that help creators think, write, and build with structure and intent.
By developers, for creators:
Respect your user's time. Every workaround we skip in the infrastructure is a hoop the user has to jump through. Do the long, proper thing once so users get a zero-friction experience. No hacks, no "just run this extra command", no documented workarounds for problems we can solve upstream. If a fix requires the user to act, the real fix hasn't shipped yet.
Markdown to professional PDF, EPUB, DOCX, and ODT — one source, every format. You write plain text, pick a target, and Keystone typesets the result with Pandoc, XeLaTeX, and a pinned Docker image. No LaTeX expertise required.
