This is exactly what I was thinking. I read that page, and at the end, I thought "...so HTML then?"
How do three nontechnical writers collaborate on an HTML document?
I'm in the business of building an online word processor - https://www.zoho.com/writer It's interesting how the documents industry is moving from print oriented legacy softwares (Google Docs, Word) to block based, app-ish, smart canvases (Notion, Coda, etc). Also both Microsoft & Google have adopted completely different strategies to compete in this market. Microsoft launched Loop as an entirely new app while Google…
Looks like a nice site! One piece of UX/design feedback -- the red color on 'START WRITING" triggers an automatic response that I've done something wrong or that a site is trying to warn me about something. I don't think a lighter shade/different color would trigger the same response
> If your document contains elements like footnotes, headers and footers, or watermarks, and it is converted to pageless, those elements will not be visible. Headers and footers are print-oriented, but losing footnotes is not ok. They could have displayed on the side, or highlighted in some way to display on mouse over or click. Whatever, just make them available...

Just a vote for Zoho. It's a really impressive collection of integrated business tools. I keep discovering new things every time I check it out.
I implemented the full Zoho suite a couple times at different companies, in 2016 and 2018-2019.
What hurt most are the endless papercuts on the core CRM tool. Ultimately the pains for my users weren't worth it.

A tangential question on Zoho Writer: why isn’t there any information on pricing (or a statement that it’s free)? I looked for pricing links. I even went to the resources page and searched for pricing and found no results. The very first thing I need to know when looking at an online platform is what kind of lock-in exists, how I can safely try it out and how much time I should invest in trying it out. The Writer pag…

Because you have to buy one of their bundles to get this product, these are the ones I found: https://www.zoho.com/workdrive/pricing.html https://www.zoho.com/workplace/pricing.html https://www.zoho.com/one/pricing/
I like to be able to ditch the page splits. But I'd love to have an option to keep the "paper" shape, albeit an infinite strip (toilet paper style). All this white horizontal space distracts me
Is "View > Print layout" what you're looking for? It replaces page splits (header/footer whitspace and page margins) with a dashed line.
- It breaks tables that cross pages in weird and confusing ways.
- It messes up spacing that crosses pages.
- It interacts poorly with footnotes.
- In results in weird gaps when images need to get pushed to the next page.
It is what I used before, but it is clearly a quick hack rather than a proper solution of actually not having pages.

I'm not so certain you'd be saving. Unless you get a TP holder with sharp metal teeth and consistently use it to get straight cuts to avoid wasting a good part of each roll on those angle tears.
Cuts? No: https://www.domesticuniform.com/product/smoked-continuous-ro...

That is a weird criticism. A document is clearly not a webpage, main use of Google docs is easy collaboration and that’s not really a thing with html. Most people would not set up something like a git repo to track changes and comment on the content for example.
My comment was not meant as criticism. I'm not sure why anyone would interpret it as such.
edit: more comments appeared while I was drafting. I guess it never hurts to have the same feedback framed different ways...

Have you ever tried to print a Notion document? It feels like they made the "Export to PDF" in a weekend. It's hugely underpowered and under-featured. It feels like Notion's demographic just dont need to share documents as documents. Notion would likely have put more effort into that feature if they did.
