You can finally ditch Google Docs... Seriously. Write better and faster with writing software you actually enjoy writing in, built-in notes and outlining board, tools for focus, and collaboration purpose built for the writing and editing process.

So excited to launch this – you can finally ditch Google Docs and replace it with an app you actually *want* to write in, instead of *have* to write in. But more importantly – below the surface, you will find that writing and editing with others becomes fruitful and collaborative instead of stressful and chaotic. Please check it out and let us know what you love and what you hate. We're committed to replacing the chaos from working in Word or Google Docs with something calm, focused, and fun. LFG!!

Love the branching and versioning features. ButterDocs has a beautiful and clean UI for writing (important!) but the concepts at the core are what are _really_ interesting for me: getting versioning and branching right is the key for working with documents that matter but also for documents where you want to wildly experiment with peace of mind. Kudos for launching 🧈 ButterDocs!

@__tosh 💯 We're all about clean UIs, but we're mostly interested in fundamentally fixing the document model: Instead of a one-dimensional paper, we introduce branches (different possibilities), snapshots (different versions over time), stashes (unplaced snippets of text), notes (research and ideas), etc. With all those dimensions, writing and collaborating becomes fundamentally simpler.

I've been able to try ButterDocs for a while now and it's the collaborative tool we've been looking for. At this stage we've completely dumped Google Docs and moved to ButterDoc as notes, focus mode and others are superior to GSuite (or is it called Google Business? Can't keep track). <3 ButterDocs!

This is an incredible resource for writers who want to work smarter, not harder. Super intuitive UX that's even better than Google Docs.

I've had early access to ButterDocs for a few weeks and I'm really impressed. I didn't actually realize how bad Google Docs was for writing (like deep, focused writing) and team collaborating until I used a tool purpose built for these things. I'm enjoying it so far and really excited to see this product continue to develop.
