DraftToDone is AI publishing software that generates the whole book product for Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) — not just text. From a single niche brief it writes a full manuscript, designs a print-ready book cover (front, spine and back), and produces SEO-optimized metadata (title, subtitle, description, keywords) with verified pen names to reduce copyright-strike risk. The focus is repeatable catalog quality, not content spam.

This repository is the public marketing site and SEO content hub (drafttodone.io). The product itself runs at app.drafttodone.io.

What it does

• AI book generator — writes a complete manuscript (outline → chapters) at your target length.
• AI book cover generator — full wrap: front cover, spine sized to page count, and back cover, print-ready for KDP.
• KDP metadata — SEO title, subtitle, description and the 7 backend keywords, with category fit.
• Verified pen names — author/series branding that lowers copyright-strike risk.
• Catalog quality gates — chapter, cover and metadata QA before you upload.

Development

This repo is the marketing site (static, no backend). The app is a separate codebase.

Stack: Next.js 15 (App Router, static export) · Tailwind CSS v4 · lucide-react · next/font (Newsreader + Hanken Grotesk) · next/og for build-time share images. Aesthetic: see DESIGN.md.

npm install
npm run dev      # http://localhost:3000
npm run build    # static export → ./out

Content lives in TypeScript (not a CMS):

• app/home-content.ts — landing copy (en/fr/it/de) + APP_URL; app/home-view.tsx — landing UI.
• app/blog-content.ts + app/*-seo-posts.ts — the blog.
• app/seo-pages.ts — solution / tool / comparison pages.

sitemap.xml, robots.txt, feed.xml, manifest.webmanifest, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, ai.txt, content-index.json, answer-engine.json and OG images are generated from that data. The SEO playbook, prompt library and audit live in seo/.

i18n: four locales, URL-based — landing at /, /fr, /it, /de; blog at /[locale]/blog; solution pages at /[locale]/[slug].

Deploy: push to main → .github/workflows/deploy.yml builds and publishes out/ to GitHub Pages. Custom domain via public/CNAME (drafttodone.io).
