A poetry writing environment that treats composition as a multi-mode practice.
Poetry is not just linear drafting. It is arrangement, sound, revision, fragmentation, retrieval, and structural experimentation - and most writing software still treats it like plain prose with line breaks.
Verso centers around multiple compositional modes, a local SQLite data layer, ProseMirror editing, fragment-canvas interactions, and phonemic analysis built into the writing loop.
The project now spans desktop distribution and mobile continuation through Capacitor, keeping the same poem data and compositional philosophy available across more than one environment.
Verso still supports direct drafting and revision, but it treats that mode as one compositional stance among several instead of the whole product.
Conventional writing remains available without defining the system.
The fragment canvas makes arrangement, distance, collision, and grouping part of the act of writing, giving structure a physical presence.
Composition can happen spatially as well as verbally.
Phonemic tooling gives writers another layer of feedback so echoes, stress, and recurrence can guide revision with more precision.
A sonic view of the draft lives inside the editor.
Fragment mode turns lines into movable objects with gravity, proximity behavior, and mode-specific interactions that treat composition as a spatial act, not only a textual one.
Breath and resonance tooling surfaces sound relationships, etymology, stress patterns, and prior appearances so revision can happen at the sonic level as well as the semantic one.
Nineteen transformation tools let the writing be split, folded, glitched, blacked out, recombined, and otherwise broken open when straightforward drafting is not enough.

Verso is strongest when writers can move between drafting, breaking, arranging, and listening without leaving the same creative environment.
The writing starts in whichever mode best fits the material, from direct prose entry to fragment collection and retrieval.
Transformation tools and the fragment canvas let the poem deform, branch, and rearrange when the original line of thought runs out.
Resonance tooling and local-first continuity keep revision close to the work, whether the writer is at the desk or carrying the poem elsewhere.
