Who likes typing on a tablet or phone? They are for reading, not composing.
With my iPad handy, if I have a robust word processor I would write it down.
Plus, it's much more convenient to walk around (even the house) with your iPad vs your laptop - well, for me anyway.
It's always surreal to read Hacker News threads about the stuff you make. Harsh, but realistic. Anyway, I am Bret Taylor, co-founder of Quip. I am here if you have any questions, etc. (Also posted responses on the existing thread already). Just to clarify a couple of points I have read: 1. We do support desktops. We have a really nice web app. It is Chrome/Firefox only right now. 2. We have an Android app. It is a "p…
This looks awesome. When I installed it, the first thing I am greeted with is a screen asking me to enter my email address. Given that my email is a Gmail address, it notifies me about wanting to manage my contacts and something else (that was the first off-putting step in my experience). I just met you, and your hands are already going down my pants. Then once I got in, the 1st or 2nd screen inside is about adding f…

I would suggest a much more clever way to virility; Help me actually MAKE something I WANT to share...
How about a tutorial on how to build an utterly awesome [document] thaat I just must share!
An invite, a how-to, op-ed...something!!
Here is an app that is looking to re-define how word processing is done, with a social context built-in - yet fails to provide a compelling reason, way, example, on how that should be done.
If word procs are so broken, give me an exciting example of how you fix it.

How would you convince a happy google docs user to switch, what's the key selling point?
2. Works offline. Whether spotty 3G connection or completely offline, our mobile apps work and sync whenever you come back online, even when multiple people are collaborating on the same document. The tech behind this is really cool. And everything is available offline automatically, not just stuff you "mark for offline"

Note: It's difficult to see from your site that you also have a desktop version (support). This might be as important as the mobile version for those of us who don't create on our iPads and would rather review on tablet.

There's absolutely no need for it in a word processor, this social stuff can't die fast enough imho.
