Features

Honestly, there isn't much innovative or novel about Doctoral, and it's not really intended to be unique just yet. But here's what it does:

Intuitive editing experience

It's just a document editor, much like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper. Similar keyboard shortcuts, etc. Nothing special, by design.

Author and organize documents

What you expect. Create docs, organize in folders, tag them, archive, etc.

Encrypted

On the roadmap: Provide a key, even just a simple phrase, to encrypt your documents on the server.

Publishing posts

Get a public URL for a read-only version of a document.

Manage revisions

Keep documents' editing histories, write drafts, restore prior versions, etc.

Extensible
