@gadgick Great idea and I signed up to test it. I am working on Firefox: 1. I would love to see auto saving - I drafted a document and clicked save but it did not do so 2. I can not see how to delete from the dashboard so where a document did not save I can see a placeholder saying 'no drafts here' but can not click into the article to delete it 3. I tried twice to email the draft for review but they never arrived 4. I can not see how to log out 5. I did not try adding hyperlinks so wondering if they work as live links? The app certainly has a lot of potential

@krishnade Thanks so much for testing! I've dropped you a message, mainly about no. 3. But for everyone else: 1. Yes, this is in the pipeline. 2. You can delete a draft by going into the draft by clicking on the card on the dashboard. However, for a better user experience, I'll work on adding actions on the card itself. 4. Logout - link is missing in the menu; will get this added 5. Yes, hyperlinks do work.

Product Hunt

Back when Medium first started, I was hoping they'd focus more on building tools to help writer collaborate and get feedback (something like this). Great work, @gadgick.

Hey folks, I'm super excited to be back after many, many months since posting my last product. Today I'm proud to launch Drafty. It's a simple way to write draft content & share it with people to review before publishing. I've written a blog post on how Drafty came about, but the short story was I have been asked to write several guest posts but there wasn't an easy, simple, tool that would allow me to write the content, share & allow people to modify, that met my requirements. Features include: - Kanban-style board to allow you to manage your content - Super easy content editor (based on Medium editor) - No authentication needed for reviewers - Share draft content with a button, add a message and send an email automatically Drafty is currently free, and am working towards a pricing model (will always have a free plan, but am thinking pro + team plans). Keen to see what the community thinks & very excited for the future of Drafty!
