Hi there,

I just fell in love with this!

It's fast and responsive, collaborative and MOST-IMPORTANTLY it's easy to use! Go to the url, boom doc got created for you, link is shareable.

Only thing I'd like to see now is some kind of document explorer and maybe a way to protect documents or make them mine because right now I could theoretically access any document: https://prcrsr.com/document/1

Thanks for the suggestions!

We’re definitely planning to make private and moderated documents. Ping me at dwwoelfel@gmail.com and I’ll let you know when it’s ready.

For the document explorer, do you want to see the documents that you created or just interesting docs that anybody created? Either way, we just pushed up a way to export a doc as an image by appending .svg to the end of the url--I’m excited about using them as thumbnail previews in the explorer.

We set up a twitter account @prcrsr_app if you want to follow along with our progress.

Me personally, I'd like to see a list of my own recent modified documents and a way to name them. Like Google Drive for example. I wouldn't integrate a way for looking at other documents before you're not able to "lock" documents so that others can't destroy them.

If you liked precursor, you may find http://ziteboard.com a fit as well. Although different perspectives for different use cases, both are great. Find more here as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8609634
