Why not just use an offline-first format like docx (collaborative: comments and track changes), synced with Dropbox or similar (sync across devices)?
- j-berman 6y agoNo worries, good question :) For one, conflict merging sounds like it could be a nightmare with that approach. Like imagine you have 10 people working on a doc at the same time, and they each have different versions. Hush Docs takes care of keeping a doc in sync out of the box. For two, real-time collaboration isn't possible with that approach. For three, it's end-to-end encrypted if you care about that sorta thing. Also just a note, comments and change tracking could be implemented pretty easily if there's interest. I spent like a week and a half on this, it's pretty barebones.
