Google Docs was awesome at the time, however, it is not really a real-time collaborative text editor. You have to coordinate your edits so that you are not working on the same thing, otherwise you create conflicts which are a pain in the ass.
Once you use a real-time collaborative editor like EtherPad, you can never go back to something like Docs, it's too primitive.
- thesethings 17y agoI've never had to coordinate when I'm in the same doc as somebody at the exact same time. But I don't dispute your account. It's actually a quite interesting observation of how differently we all work. In any case, I'll be following this thread. Tools aside, i think the topic is one of the most transformative things going on.
