Behind the glass

The curator's bench.

Three instruments do most of the work at Docwell. Each is built like museum furniture: heavy, honest, and meant to last decades.

The Docwell article editor with toolbar, outline sidebar and a blinking cursor in a draft
Instrument I

The Writing Desk

A distraction-free editor that treats every article like a specimen being prepared for the drawer. Structure comes first; ornament later.

  • Nested sections and drag-and-drop ordering across the whole base
  • Drafts stay in a private drawer until you stamp them published
  • Rich embeds: images, code blocks, tables, callouts and checklists
  • Every keystroke autosaved; nothing evaporates when the lamp flickers
Full-text search results with relevance scores in the Docwell index drawer
Instrument II

The Index Drawer

Full-text search across every article, with analytics that record what visitors hunt for — and what they fail to find.

  • Instant results with typo tolerance and synonym rings
  • Search analytics: top queries, zero-result queries, click-through
  • Zero-result report doubles as your writing to-do list
  • Reader feedback votes on every article from the Gallery plan up
Six theme swatches and a custom CSS panel in the Docwell style archive
Instrument III

The Style Archive

A bindery of hand-made themes. Start with a bound volume, then open the back cover and write your own CSS when the occasion demands.

  • From 5 bound themes on Specimen to 50 plus custom CSS on Gallery
  • Brand colors and typography applied base-wide in one stroke
  • White-label presentation on Exhibit and above — our nameplate unscrews
  • Public version history on Museum: every revision dated and displayed
