SimulDocs

Many others have said it already, but I'll say it again: 1. You have a fantastic product 2. Many potential users won't accept to have their documents stored "in the cloud" (even…

Finally someone is doing this! I've been toying with the idea myself but haven't been able to dedicate time to it, mostly I was deterred by the MS Word format mess. I'm sure it…

I think if you can get people to use this and try it, you're going to make a ton of cash. This has been needed for years and doing it within Word sounds to me like the absolute…

I think this is a good product, once worked in strategy as an intern at a bank and we basically used manual versioning where we would version using date and time or even content,…

I could recommend this for something like bank compliance. We're stuck with Word and have a largely non-technical staff, but could dramatically improve our performance if our…

Significant. Most engineering firms (web dev << the development world) have a need for proper documentation, and LibreOffice generally won't cut it either.

If you had a version that companies could install on a private internal network, you could easily charge between $100 and $1000 a month for this. I work in legal and compliance…

This fills a niche I need but I can't use a service where I upload the documents to your server (unless you can show certification of at least ISO 27001). I would also be willing…

This is very cool, and I wish we had something like this, but I don't see many law firms going for it. Most law firms (and I would guess all major ones) will not allow uploading…

Good idea in general, but with one major flaw: no self-hosting option. I can't imagine lawyers will be queuing up to host their sensitive legal documents on someone else's server.

This is interesting, but what's wrong with "Track Changes"? (a feature Word had for at least 10+ years now). I believe for most people that is more than enough for version…

THIS is how Sharepoint should have worked from day 1. But I guess Microsoft thinks normal office workers won't get version history in their mind.

Unfortunately can't check it out because I get "We are checking what's changed in this version. Won't be long..." for any test docx I upload / blank docx. Maybe server…

The group of people who still do their day-to-day by passing around Word docs via email or LAN likely does not intersect well with the people who fully understand (or have much…

From the article ``` There is a lot of overlap here with the authoring process of a Word document. You don’t necessarily want the real-time coauthoring experience offered by…

Good idea in general, but with one major flaw: no self-hosting option. I can't imagine lawyers will be queuing up to host their sensitive legal documents on someone else's server.

Cool! Here's my unsolicited opinion: you preemptively answer "why wouldn't I just use git?" but I think "why is this better than track changes?" is the question prospective users…

Unfortunately can't check it out because I get "We are checking what's changed in this version. Won't be long..." for any test docx I upload / blank docx. Maybe server…

Is there any way to delete documents? I uploaded a trash document just to try it out, but now I can never delete it - only "archive it" which is bugging the OCD side of me

Unfortunately can't check it out because I get "We are checking what's changed in this version. Won't be long..." for any test docx I upload / blank docx. Maybe server…

Why do you need admin rights to install?

So Google Docs? It seems close enough. What's the main advantage over Google Docs?

Word is tons more powerful than Google Docs, has add-ins, way more formatting and styling. In my mind, Google Doc is not a direct competitor to Word when it comes to professional…

Hey OP, this looks like an awesome tool, good job! Just a quick question, would the primary alternative to your product be Microsoft Sharepoint? If so, how would you market your…

THIS is how Sharepoint should have worked from day 1. But I guess Microsoft thinks normal office workers won't get version history in their mind.

I've used git for word docs for years now. Using pandoc to convert them to markdown allows sensible diffs to be displayed as well. Works great for redlining.

If all you need is to diff documents (Word, Excel, PPT, or arbitrary PDFs) then I can't recommend https://draftable.com/compare enough. It's an amazing tool. Granted, you need to…
