This is a really neat idea. Poetica could fare very well as a service that facilitates web copy proofreading, I think.[0]
The only thing I've noticed from the start—and I've been thinking about before—is long onboarding process. Perhaps it's better to walk the user only through the essentials at the beginning, and then offer deeper demos of particular feature sets on demand. IMO the 7 items at a time rule should work here. (It's very good as it is, just pointing out space for the improvement.)
(I also think it could be worth a lot in enterprise—monetization could involve, say, offering some specific third-party service integrations, paid support for more than three users working on one document, etc. Though I'm not at all in a position to give advice on this.)
[0] This is a problem that I'm facing currently, working with a small business. They need to be able to publish news stories, announces, etc. on the website. However, currently I'm not allowing them to do that, as I know their copy always requires careful proofreading, and frequently rewriting. I'm not sure how to deal with this currently—I've been thinking of rolling out a custom little service that would put all edits into a review queue, but I'll have to approve my edits with the staff, too, and complexity of such service escalates.
- josephwegner 12y agoI work on the Web team at Belly, and we just transitioned our blog and most of our website content over to be powered by prismic.io. It's been a wonderful experience so far - prismic is a great tool, and the team over there has been super helpful. Prismic uses an idea of "releases". Essentially a writer can create content and then submit it for a release. An editor then has to approve the content (ot leave comments/edits) before it actually gets published. This has been a really great workflow for us so far. I should be putting a blog post on tech.bellycard.com explaining everything in detail by the end of the week.
- goblin89 12y agoPrismic looks great, but a bit too complex for my use case. In addition, the intuitiveness of Poetica UI looked appealing to me as I'm working with not very tech-knowledgeable users. I'm definitely looking forward to reading your post, though.
