use-script

Script is a smart text editor capable of interconnecting multiple files (ie. general/special conditions, annexes, forms, letters, etc.) and data points in a dedicated project environment. It streamlines defined terms and section referencing (among other capabilities) reducing document drafting & reviewing from hours to seconds with simple clicks and no compromise on accuracy/reliability of information. We also do that while promoting neurodiversity and inclusion which is at the core of our system development (mainly around reading/writing & learning disabilities). This project is backed by Innovate UK as one of the country’s top 1% most “promising/game-changing” technologies.

HERO

HERO is a collaborative workspaces for serious work combining the flexibility of text, the structure of databases and the power of integrations. It can be found at https://www.myhero.so Think of it like Notion, but purpose-built for teams who write formal, structured documents like legal contracts, technical specs, SOPs, and policies. What makes it different? - Structural Hierarchy: Notion does pages within pages, HERO does sections within sections (sub/sections, sub/clauses, sub/paragraphs, schedules/appendices, etc.) to reflect the real structure of formal writing. - Dynamic Variables: Notion has pages and databases (sometimes a database within a page), HERO can embed specific data points within the text for powerful, fine-grained templating and dynamic content reusability. - Defined Terms & Acronyms: Reference and auto-manage key terms across large documents and projects. - Project-Based & Context-Aware: HERO can reference, update, and respond to changes across multiple files in real time for consistency, efficiency & accuracy. It turns static files into interconnected systems of living documents & records. - Footnotes & Cross-Referencing: Native support for citations and internal linking. - AI-Powered Workflows: Auto-draft clauses, explain sections, check for inconsistencies, and restructure content across multiple files simultaneously using integrated AI tools, much like in Cursor (coming soon). - Collaborative & Secure Workspaces: Organize your teams for collaborative & adversarial settings. It also supports: - Markdown - LaTeX/KaTeX - Charts & graphs - Code blocks (or inline) - Callouts - iFrames & Embeds - Footnotes - Tables & Columns - Math Blocks (or inline) - Images - Buttons - Quotes - Location, Date & Time - Signature Blocks Review all features here: https://www.myhero.so/features It's all about bridging the disconnect between transactional teams and operational ones.
