Show HN: Reproof – A non-linear writing app for perfectionistshttps://reproof.appHey HN! I've written more words on the internet than I could count, for everyone from Zapier to Wirecutter. And for years it's bugged me that nearly every writing app still treats the writing surface as a linear sheet of paper, with paragraphs one after another and no space for experimentation.And so I and a friend build Reproof.app as what I've taken to calling a writing app for perfectionists.It's built around paragraph versions. You can add new versions to any paragraphs and swap between them to see how the different takes read in context. You can cut a paragraph as a clipping to save it for later. It’s a writing app that lets you experiment without losing any of your ideas along the way.It took four complete rewrites before we finally found an approach that worked well (don’t reinvent the text editor, they say, yet we tried, and even with Tiptap it still was harder than it should have been).
