Agree! The horrors of updating documents at a previous role is what led me to build Livedocs!

We're trying to work with Google Docs currently. We're aware of the huge switching cost that comes with adopting a new editor, and we're trying to integrate with Drive/Gdocs. Will keep you in the loop!

Thanks much. I'd love to roll something like this out across both my 9-to-5 and a couple of the consulting gigs I do. I see immediate applications in proposal/RFP management (where there are numerous existing solutions, all of which have some critical flaw), contracting (to ensure contract docs align with references and data sources), legal briefing management (which is, to me, the ultimate use case for any system intending to refine the integration between documents and other documents, or documents and data) and obviously academia. If you are looking for early product-market fit, designing to serve one of those markets extraordinarily well could get you some traction.
