History

Colofon was started by programmer/aspiring writer Thomas Malicet when he began his first novel and realized he did not have the right tool.
Since he could not find it on the market, he decided to build his ideal app: a streamlined, online service that would simplify his workflow and make technical problems a thing of the past.
Colofon is now live with more and more users and new features added regularly.
