Worlds & Stories

People don't live in a vacuum. Ember lets you organize your relationships into Worlds, and weave your entries into ongoing Stories.

Configuring Worlds

A World is a context where relationships exist—like "College," "Work," or "Climbing Group."

  • Creating a World: Go to the Worlds tab and click the `+` icon to create a new World. You can assign it a custom color.
  • Assigning People: When you add a new person, you can assign them to one or more Worlds. This helps you filter your journal and graph.

Crafting Stories

A Story is a collection of journal entries that span across time, ignoring the linear constraints of a traditional journal.

  • Ongoing Stories: Group related entries—like "The Launch Sprint" or "Diwali at Home"—into a Story. A Story can span years.
  • Story Covers: Make your Stories visual by adding a cover image.
  • Linking Entries: When writing a new entry, type & followed by the Story name to append it as a new chapter.
