Description
This is a tool which lets you easily manage different versions of ideas, helpful for writing essays.I've found myself wanting this every single time I go through the drafting process when writing, and I've been frustrated every time I find myself accidentally working on an old draft just because there was a paragraph that I liked better. This solves it.I hope the community like this as much I enjoyed working on it! Note that it's currently a beta waitlist because there's some bugs with the undo/redo state management and so I want to dogfood it for a bit for reliability.It says April 2nd, but I may allow earlier beta testers.
