What's new in ReproofReproof

Reproof’s built for publishing. You can copy anything you write in rich text, markdown, or HTML anytime to paste into your email newsletter, blogging platform, social network profile, or anywhere else you publish online.

Sometimes, though, all you need is a quick way to share your writing. Maybe you want to privately share something for feedback. Or you might want to share something longer-form than would fit easily in a social media post. That, or you’d like to share your actual Reproof draft, complete with paragraph versions, to show how your ideas took shape.

Reproof’s new Sharing feature is built for that. Open a document, open its right sidebar, click the Document tab, then share your document on Reproof from the bottom of the sidebar. You can share privately with a password, publicly with a link, and either way choose to show or hide paragraph versions.

It’s the quickest way to go from idea to published piece, with Reproof.

“Murder your darlings,” advised Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch. “Kill your darlings, even when it breaks your egocentric little scribbler's heart,” said Stephen King, popularizing the idea. But sometimes you’ve got a bit that sounds pretty good, and you’d hate to erase it forever.

Clippings let you keep your darlings on the cutting floor, to resurrect later when you find a better place for them to live. Click the scissors icon beside a paragraph to clip it, or select text and press Cmd+Alt+X to clip it.

Then click the caret in the bottom of your document (or press Cmd+J) to open the Clippings pane, where you can drag clippings into any document, jot down a note or idea as a new clipping, and more.

It’s the easier way to cut bits from your writing without worrying about losing them forever.

Spellcheck happens as you type, as you’d expect, thanks to your operating system and browser. You write, mistype something obvious, and get notified to fix it right away.

Then come the harder-to-catch things. The broken capitalization on brand names. Clichés. TK’s you forgot to close out. Grammatical near-misses. Correctly spelled homophones that would be correct in another sentence but not here.

Reproof’s Proofread mode catches those and more. When you’re finished writing, tap Proofread or press Cmd+;. Moments later, you’ll get suggested edits for everything you should fix. Reproof won’t change your writing without your permission, and you can ignore any suggestions that aren’t a good fit. It’s just a handy proofreader to look over your shoulder and ensure your copy doesn’t have any glaring mistakes before you finish writing.

It's here. It's finally, finally here.

After four rewrites, hundreds of builds, we've got the first version of Reproof ready for you to use. You can write and copy in Markdown or rich text, import and export documents, add paragraph versions and compare them, navigate everything with your keyboard. You can customize the interface with your favorite color and font style.

Poke around and try all the things. We hope you'll love it.
