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.

Congrats on the launch! The UI looks smooth like butter :). Personally a comprehensive UI for version control is a must when writing anything.

I used this product for my NaNoWriMo project and really loved it. It has no problem with my 90k+ word document (unlike google docs) and I love the ability to organize my scenes/chapters and rearrange them if need be. Google docs is fine for short documents or research papers, but it’s not designed for authors. I love that ButterDocs is. I am also totally in love with the Stash feature. There’s still some features I’d like to see but I appreciate that the team has been really responsive to user requests already. I’m looking forward to the mobile app so I can ditch my current program altogether.

@rochelle_fox Awesome, glad to hear it. We have a pretty unique document model (at a technical level), compared to Google Docs or Word, so handling of big docs should be a lot smoother.

I absolutely do not regret getting this application for my everyday writing schedule. I am actually an early user of Butter Docs and I have loved every single detail and services it provides. I love the planning tabs, the alternate drafting options, the writing tools, sharing capabilities. But, the one thing that I really adored is the SMOOTH user interface. The whole thing looks vibrant and beautiful and captivates you to just start your writing fresh. It's worth it.

I love that there's finally a great replacement for Google Docs! So many writers and content teams have had to rely on Google Docs to create blogs, guides, and documents. I get so tired of seeing an anonymous beaver when I'm editing, messy strike throughs that make it impossible to edit, or discovering that a Google Doc hasn't been set to "edit." There's so much unnecessary drama in Google Docs, and seeing how ButterDocs has created a clean UX that prioritizes collaborative writing and editing makes me hopeful for the future! I personally love "The Stash" feature. I don't know any writer who doesn't have a separate document to save their darlings in—and setting aside copy that I'm not ready to get rid of without having to set up another document makes the editing process much more simple. Congratulations on the launch!

@kaitlyn_arford thanks! Glad you're enjoying the Stash. I used to call the separate document I'd cut-and-paste things into "the graveyard." (Which I guess technically made the work I re-used zombies??)

@kaitlyn_arford “so much unnecessary drama with Google Docs”, just the way you put that made me hear it as like “Google Docs be dramaaaaaatic” haha. Skit brewing in my head now.

Hey all! As a writer myself, I can’t wait for all you other writers out there to try ButterDocs. I love that ButterDocs understands writing isn’t just putting words on the page; it’s figuring out *which* words to put on the page. That’s the part that Google Docs and Word are bad at, because at their core they’re basically just… typewriters. (One document, it goes up and down, and you write in it. That’s a typewriter, folks.) So whenever you try to do anything else, like incorporate your notes or research, or reference your outline, or write and edit with other people, things get messy fast and you get frustrated. And frustration is the death of creativity. ButterDocs keeps you in your writing flow by combining a notes app, an outlining app, and a great writing environment where you can easily reference the aforementioned notes and outline without breaking your focus. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Been trying this for a bit and really enjoying the branching/versioning features — especially side-by-side view when comparing drafts! Well done and congrats on the launch!

@philippamarkovics side-by-side view is my personal favorite as well. I find it helpful to see the main draft as it is, not cluttered with strikethroughs.
