Summary

This is a Chrome App that wraps around Draft (https://draftin.com/), an online application to help you write better.

Why a Chrome App when Draft is already available from a web browser? Because a Chrome App + Chrome's App Launcher adds a few extra niceties to Draft that you can't get just from your browser. For example, you can now access Draft from OSX's Spotlight and CMD+Tab.

Note: This is still Draft in online mode. You can fool with offline Draft in Settings->Labs, but this is still predominantly the online version of Draft, just wrapped in a Chrome App.

With Draft you can really focus on your writing and have wonderful options to share and save your work. I recommend writers and bloggers to give it a fair try. You'll probably want it forever.

Wow! This works so well in so many ways. I suspect that the people who don't like it don't understand it. I've been using it for several different kinds of writing and it works for everything from an email to an essay.
