I use Dropbox Paper (work at DBX too) and it’s quite amazing for the long form research notes - I’ll have like a million projects going and paper documents is just such a nice way to pick em up, write some stuff and then put it down again (and embeds online and file media really well). The free version is he one I use personally and it’s great! But it’s not the best for a large repo of short personal notes - I too am looking for something there (always wanted to get “in to” Evernote but just never did) - I actually use Todoist for small reference notes and material now.

Dropbox Paper is fantastic, and my favourite shared writing environment (visually so much nicer than Google Docs)

I'm up to 7000 words in one document. The feature I'm missing in Dropbox Paper is around organising my notes and research for what I'm writing. Think of Scrivener or other writers' tool, which knows you're writing on many levels and need a scratchpad around, and to keep the outline bullet points even after you've written prose for that section.

I've taken to having a separate Paper document to contain the research/notes/outline and one for the draft writing. If this is a use-case you consider for Paper, it'd be awesome to have more support.

If not, then HN can you suggest a better, shared writing environment?

The killer feature for Evernote is the web clipper. Any chance of something similar being implemented for Dropbox Paper?
