Granth
The electronic document is the master and print is just a convenience.
That's the whole thing.

Granth means the bound book. In the pharma company I work with, one fifteen-page procedure with three signatories demands forty-five wet signatures, for a single version of one document. That number stopped me.
I started building Granth in July twenty twenty-six. It makes the electronic document the real master: authored, reviewed, signed, and read digitally. Print becomes a convenience, never the authority. It has a paged web editor, version history, e-signatures, and an immutable audit trail. Controlled copies render identically, every time.
I write the documentation before I write the code. Granth is the next chapter of Hyperlink, an earlier project of mine. It is a work in progress, and I am glad you found it.

Granth means the bound book.
In the pharma company I work with, thousands of controlled documents live on paper. Standard operating procedures, their enclosures, every revision: written in Word, printed, signed by hand. One fifteen-page procedure with three signatories needs forty-five wet signatures and about as many handwritten dates. That’s for one version of one document.
I started Granth in July 2026 to change that. It is the next chapter of an earlier project of mine called Hyperlink. The build philosophy is the same: documentation first, code second.
Granth makes the electronic document the master. Authors write in a paged web editor where the structure is enforced: they write only the body, the system owns the frame. Documents are authored, reviewed, signed, issued, and read digitally. Print becomes a convenience, never the master.
The system covers the full lifecycle from draft to obsolete: structured authoring with real-time collaboration and comments, full version history, configurable signature chains, an immutable audit trail, deterministic rendering of controlled copies, and periodic review scheduling.
A live work-in-progress version is running. I am still building.
