Profile

Colophon is a chrome extension for Google Docs that records the writing process as a structured event log: edits, revisions, paste events, GenAI interactions, and whether the author accepted, modified, or rejected GenAI suggestions.It exports as TWFF (Tracked Writing File Format) open container format. We are aligning the format with W3C Data Privacy Vocabulary (DPV) terminology where appropriate.The motivation: GenAI text detectors are terrible.What researchers actually need is process-level data: what changed during writing, where GenAI was used, and how the author engaged with it.We are preparing multi-site case studies for higher education and would appreciate feedback on the methodology

Colophon:Show HN is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
