That seems right. Batteries need a lot of capex though: maybe easier for a hotel than a utility.

However, what I WOULD love to see is a previous copy on the right of the screen and a text editor on the left. We built a Word AddIn that lets you to do side-by-side diffs in Word (but you can't edit in this view yet). Would be inter

Sorry for the delay: busy weekend. I added a FAQ https://draftable.com/gmail/faq with the answer to your question (and more), but I'll answer here too: We don't modify the data in your Gmail account, so if yo

Our startup takes a third approach: automatically detect when one document is a new version of another, so that software can take care of the version control, while the humans can go on being human. We're bringing version control to pe

That's really harsh. Someone living abroad could easily spend > 35 days/year in the US on business or visiting family.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't find it useful. Thanks for trying it out though! I'd like to understand better what you're looking for; my email's in my profile if you'd be willing to talk further. If you're using the Word Add-In, the dif

Yep, this is the direction we're going in. One person I talked to diffs two Excel spreadsheets by arranging the Windows to be same size and then rapidly pressing Alt-tab! The latest versions of Excel (starting with 2010, I think) come with

A few ways. 1. People seem to find side-by-side diffs easier to read than the Track Changes compare functionality built into Word, because the old and new versions don’t get mashed together. 2. Usability. Draftable is easier to use than the

Oh, whoops; I won't do that again. It's the first time I've done a Show HN and we're still setting up our blog. I can't seem to edit it to change it into a link with URL.
