It seems pretty crazy to handicap yourself with an unsearchable name like "Script", especially when it's not an editor for scripts (drama or programming).

The site has no scrollbar for some reason, so it's hard to navigate.

The HN title talks about interconnected documents, as if it's a wiki or something, but the site doesn't seem to mention that.

We've been working with truly digital documents for decades now, and it's not clear that this adds anything important. It also seems focused on proprietary lock-in, and doesn't have pricing available.

Thanks for this! We'll add the scroll bar shortly. Hopefully this will help navigation.

What do you mean by proprietary lock-in? We've put in a lot of effort into making sure the system isn't opinionated and remain fully compatible with the incumbents office suite (ie. .docx, pdf, etc.)

We are still trying to figure out pricing, which we expect to be in line with with other b2b tools of like nature and value.

Maybe I'm wrong about the lock-in. Its features don't seem very compatible with anything else. Do you export the highlighting as Word styles or something? I think you would get more interest if you explained your compatibility features more. No one wants to invest time an effort in a new system they're unsure of unless they have a clear path out of it. That's why note taking systems based on Markdown are popular.

Absolutely - you can export any selected file, folder or the entire project to .docx or .pdf (or both) effortlessly with only simple clicks and split seconds.

It's already available for you to use in the current version.
