After five years at a major publisher in Brazil, Heberti Almeida watched how archaic the industry could be — and how many barriers stood between a manuscript and a published book. He went on to build iOS apps used by millions: leading iOS development of PC Optimum, Loblaw's loyalty app, then four years at Square (Block, Inc.) working on hardware connectivity. Pinery points that engineering rigor back at publishing: an all-in-one studio that gives every writer the tools of a professional publishing house.
Writers usually juggle separate apps for writing, formatting, and design. Pinery unifies the whole path: a Markdown-first editor keeps writers in flow, a live preview shows the actual book (including a Kindle e-ink simulator), and a design mode to visually control typography, spacing, and styles to create a unique look. Export to ePub 3, digital PDF, or a static website.
With 2.0, writing itself gets a partner. Prose is an AI editor that lives beside the manuscript — never in a separate chat window — and nothing lands in the book without the author's review.
