## Overview

- **Who it's for**: Writers, editors, and small editorial teams who drafted long-form articles or documents together and needed a shared space for review and revision rather than emailing files back and forth.
- **What you get**: A browser-based Markdown editor with real-time collaborative editing, inline commenting tied to specific passages, a review/suggestion mode for proposing edits, and version history that let users compare and revert to earlier drafts.
- **How it works**: A writer created a document in Markdown and invited collaborators, who could edit or leave comments directly in the browser; the team tracked draft revisions over time and exported the finished text when done.
