I&#x27;ve been using this to write a book and really enjoy it so far (though I also enjoyed the desktop version, for what it&#x27;s worth).<p>One thing I&#x27;ve noticed (and that I tweeted earlier) is that having my github hooked up to my book, every time I save (via cmd-s, which I do out of habit every minute or so) it automatically pushes to my repo. So without realizing it, I had something like 50 commits after working for 15 minutes. Not a big deal, but it might be nice to separate the two.<p>The other thing I&#x27;ve noticed is that saving also builds the book. So in this same 15 minute period of working, I went to the status page of my book and noticed I had 50 or so builds currently being processed, with almost all of them failing in a flurry of emails an hour later. (Side note, any reason for this?)<p>So the only thing I would say is that I&#x27;d like to see a separation of the saving, committing, and building, much like the desktop version had. I&#x27;d like to build my book (and commit it) at the end of the session, not on every save. But maybe that&#x27;s just me.

Am I the only one who thought this was a GitHub product from the LnF of their website?

Has this company licensed the Git trademark? <a href="http://git-scm.com/trademark" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;git-scm.com&#x2F;trademark</a> (2.3)

Err maybe I&#x27;m misunderstanding this but the pricing says 80% royalty? That means they take 80% of your profits if you sell a book authored in this tool? Is this normal in the book world?<p>Edit: I think I misread, the writer probably gets 80% royalty.

I&#x27;ve just wrote something for about an hour, then went to make a new outline point via &quot;add article&quot; on the left pane. As a result, the editor refreshed to the new empty outline-point and my previous written text disappeared, which is a big no-go, I guess.

This looks interesting. It reminds me of <a href="http://prose.io/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;prose.io&#x2F;</a> which is basically a general-purpose Github-based web editor and that I used some time ago to edit my markdown files.

Looks good. Any plans for Bitbucket support?
