en I've been writing with this for maybe a day, so I don't have a solid opinion of long term usage or how well it backs up. However I found the ability to organise documents in folders really useful for sorting novel chapters, and just the overall feel of the app was very nice. Sometimes it took me a little to figure out how to use a certain feature, but I think I got most of it down pat. I just hope the back up system is good, because I really want to keep using this app. Edit: I'm having difficulty deleting a folder. I could delete the documents within it just fine, but when I go to delete the folder nothing happens.

en I have used draft for a few years now and really like it. Nate Kotny who developed the site is very responsive to questions you have and if you pay to use it (Like I do), even more so. It's worth the annual fee to have a distraction free writing device that is cloud based, has multiple options, and allows import of what you write on the fly. Not too many bells and whistles but just enough added to make it worth your investment if you write frequently. I'm a teacher and college professor along with other jobs I have. I use multiple folders to identify documents I have, can post from anywhere, and 'free write' whenever I please. I'm putting a doctoral dissertation together and have been importing text from draft as I go when the mood strikes. Thanks Nate for developing a worthwhile tool for writers.

en This is by far the best writing tool for Chromebook. If like me you have plain text Markdown files in Dropbox so you can edit from any platform there is, Draft outperforms everything else in the Chrome store. Forget the rest, this is the one. Install it, sync it to your Dropbox, and your search is over.

en I was super excited to see one of my favorite writing sites, have its own app! I've been using its browser equivalent for a long time for mostly original stories, and I like how it's easy it is to create documents, and browse through them. It's a good alternative to rich text based editors, and hey I like that it's saved online, so when the computer crashes the work doesn't disappear entirely. Sometimes formating gets botched up when you export it, but overall I've had a good experience. Seriously everyone, it literally takes three seconds to use your mouse to resize it, and you can easily exit out of anything through processes under your task manager.

en Pretty awesome! When it works it works well! However it doesn't always work with some rich text editors like the one used by my school. One little thing is that it saves everything you end up editing with it, which is a bit annoying to me but may not be for most people. Maybe a nice "Temp" editing? or even automatically putting these in a folder? hard to say the best way to handle it but that's my pet peeve.
