The AI side of things started pretty naively: I had a free Gemini API key and a hardcoded limit of 10 AI requests per user. That was it. For local dev I ran Ollama, so I could use it as much as I wanted. Simple, but obviously not something you can scale or ship.</p> <p>The problem is that AI features on a writing platform aren&rsquo;t a one-off thing. Writers want to ask the AI for feedback on a chapter, generate a scene, brainstorm names for a character. That&rsquo;s not 10 requests that&rsquo;s potentially dozens per session. So the &ldquo;you get 10 per day&rdquo; model was dead on arrival, also not all ai requests consumed the same number of tokens.</p>https://khaled2049.github.io/devlog/posts/01-the-dream-behind-novelsync-a-better-home-for-writers-readers-and-story-worlds/Sun, 22 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://khaled2049.github.io/devlog/posts/01-the-dream-behind-novelsync-a-better-home-for-writers-readers-and-story-worlds/My reason for building TTT
