Draft's editing/version control is rather awesome and easy to use. It would be neat if Loren and Nate could work together to get some of the github-like "social" features into Draft--following updates and broadcasting progress.

My feeling would be that having one platform with both features would be better than having two very similar things here.

I've been loving draft to the point that I haven't really engaged with any of the other new platforms out there, like editorially. I sign up to beta just about any of them that come along, but Draft just feels like home already. That said, I can't imagine I wouldn't at least play around on the platform the author describes.

My biggest issue with Draft is consistency in behavior. Personal anecdotes are frowned upon here, but for most of last week the ability to export files wasn't working at all for me. When I'm dealing with Markdown, this is the last thing I want to happen.

I much prefer a system that's geared to projects and not specific types of document too. For example, if this supported housing a collection of documents and an image or two - with changes able to be made on each file, it would be amazing. Google Docs I edit with others quickly tends to devolve into three different types of sharing/permissions issues, and I'm left frustrated or wondering why some people can access one thing or another.

There's definitely room to innovate here.

Agreed. Draft tackles versioning and editing in markdown very well. The incremental save feature makes all of this transparent to the writer.
