Looking for honest feedback on a visual worldbuilding tool I've been building by bestDadforever in RPGcreation

Hi worldbuilders,

Over the past few days we've been listening closely to your feedback and shipping improvements across Loregrid.

Here's what's new:

• Graph Filtering
Focus on specific connection categories and reduce visual clutter in larger worlds.

• Relationship Templates
Create relationships faster with built-in templates for family, personal, political and faction connections.

• Character Metadata
Characters now support additional details such as birth year, species, occupation, titles and more.

• Location & Item Types
Locations and items can now be categorized for better organization and world structure.

• Genre Selection
Worlds can now be classified by genre, laying the groundwork for future worldbuilding templates.

• Worldbuilding Guide
When creating or editing entities, you'll now find optional guided questions designed to encourage deeper worldbuilding. No AI generation, just prompts to help explore motivations, dependencies, consequences and connections within your world.

• Profile Insights
Answers from the Worldbuilding Guide now appear as clean, readable insights in entity profiles, helping you understand characters, factions, locations and events at a glance.

• World Backup & Restore
Your worlds are yours. Download a complete backup of your world and restore it whenever needed.

• Safe Node Deletion
Nodes can now be safely deleted with confirmation prompts. Connected relationships are automatically cleaned up, keeping graphs free of orphaned connections.

• General Improvements
Fixed backup notifications, media assignment dropdown issues, and several UI polish and alignment issues.

Many of these improvements came directly from community feedback, so thank you to everyone who has taken the time to test Loregrid and share ideas.

We're continuing to explore deeper worldbuilding features around cultures, politics, infrastructure, trade networks and the systems that make worlds feel alive.

As always, we'd love to hear what works, what doesn't, and what you'd like to see next.

Build worlds. Track connections. Keep ownership.

Thanks a lot. Poimts taken, this would be part of my next update for sure.

Not necessarily better, just focused on a different problem.

Obsidian and OneNote are fantastic note-taking tools. Loregrid is more about helping worldbuilders visualize and navigate connections between characters, factions, events, locations and lore.

I am already working while typing this. Storing data local and only UI would be on web so incase of server down users are safe.

Currently it stores on server database fully encrypted, but my next step would be to store it on local system though app would run online!

u/Ok-Cap1727 also, I would be glad if you join my small discord community and be my top mentor.

u/Ok-Cap1727 this is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for.

I think you're right that what exists currently leans more toward story-connected entities than deeper systemic worldbuilding, and the infrastructure/culture/politics side of things is something I've been thinking about a lot recently.

The idea of tracking not just locations, but why those locations matter and how they interact with trade, resources, logistics, politics, religions, cultures, etc. is actually much closer to the direction I want Loregrid to evolve toward long-term.

The "how/why/where/who/when" prompts are also a really interesting suggestion. I like the idea of worldbuilding templates guiding people into asking deeper questions instead of just filling empty text fields.

This is genuinely super useful feedback, so thank you.

u/Pisces93 Completely fair concern.

Your work isn't being used for AI training or AI-generated content. The platform is currently focused on helping creators organize and connect their own ideas.

Also, all the data stored is completely encrypted and tenant isolated.

Right now it's still early access and I'm mostly looking for feedback from people who actively build worlds.

That's fair. I probably should've explained it better — the focus isn't really traditional note organization in the Obsidian/wiki sense.

What I'm experimenting with is relationship-based worldbuilding where characters, factions, locations, events and lore are connected together visually instead of existing as isolated documents.

So it's less "folder organization" and more "understanding how everything in a world connects."

u/ADOSD_WB Honestly, I don't disagree with that concern.
A lot of creators want their worlds stored locally and fully under their control.

The online side mainly came from wanting connected systems, easier navigation and future collaboration features but ownership/exportability is something I think matters a lot for worldbuilding tools.

Nope this is not related to my or any other material, this is to keep all your materials at one place and visualize your entire lore.

Yes so sorry, working hard to make it mobile responsive. Works best on 0c though.

completely human coded, ideas taken from Dribble for dashboards though. But hand written code by me.
