Started out as a product called Writely in the mid-2000s. Got bought by Google not long afterwards.

Not sure if it’s still the case but until fairly recently you could still see writely in the different domains Docs cycles through when logging in.

Version 1 was from a company named Writely. Google massively refactored and rewrote it afterwards though.
