If it has real, proper, version control with named checkpoints then I'll check it out. I still struggle to believe that Google Docs doesn't have the ability to create a named version alongside its version-for-every-change tracking.
Curious why PPT first? I'd have thought a bigger issue was with Word docs. I guess that has its own track changes thing, but it's still not got anything approaching version control.
edit: Their blog [1] notes that the reason is to let them focus on executing one well-defined thing WELL. Seems like a good idea.
If we’re going to achieve these goals, we need to be
super focused. Which is why our first version is
specific in its scope: Kivo 1.0 is an Office plugin
which works with PowerPoint on Windows.
I wish the Kivo team every success.
More importantly, it seemed like something that the Github team is very interested in as well. In the past, such as when they introduced showing maps and other data on Github, they have expressed interest in making Github a more universally useful tool.
Draft (draft.io) has the right model, but I need a native app with local storage and, again, MS Word compatibility.
