Don't get lost in the tools.
I would just go with Google Docs as if you are working with an editor this will make your life a lot easier than trying to teach someone how to send you diff patches of changes and discussing them inline in on GitHub PRs.
- dyingkneepad 3y agoMy wife writes books. She used mostly Google Docs on her phone and after a few hundred pages the phone app couldn't open her file anymore. We had to open it on a browser, create a new file and copy paste from the previous. I think her edit history was so big the app couldn't handle. She also tried LibreOffice for a while and one of her documents got to a point where she would open it and it would render just a blank page. I had to unzip the file and extract the text from the xml using a custom parser I wrote. Lost all formatting. Whatever you do, have backups. Edit: in both cases everything was just text with very light formatting. No images, no other stuff that could eat all the memory, just mostly plain text.
