Penflip is Github for writing: a platform for hosting, collaborating on, and publishing writing projects. Projects can be private or public.

Types of projects include: textbooks, ebooks, novels, research papers, technical documentation and more.

Collaboration is version controlled and asynchronous, built on top of Git, a version control system with mass adoption by developers.

Content is written with markdown, then formatted and compiled into consumable formats (PDF, ePub, and Word) with one click.

TECHNOLOGY

Version control is a notoriously difficult problem to solve. Github has done an excellent job by creating a user interface layer on top of Git (a command-line version control system), but it's still difficult to use for non-developers. For this reason, Github is used almost entirely for coding projects, even though the tech can support any type of collaboration.

Penflip adapts Github tech and workflows and simplifies them for non-developers, resulting in a powerful version control system that maintains ease-of-use.
