The central premise is this. Imagine if your entire filesystem was one big distributed revision control system and your text editor fully reflected this. Rather than using the realtime method of collaboration (like for example SubEthaEdit) it explores the intersection of editing and revision control. This gives you live revision history and makes collaboration effortless (even when people work asynchronously).

For this early beta I have just barely scratched the surface of what is possible when revision control is fully integrated into the application. The problem with most revision control systems is they often ends up being used as glorified backup systems. I would like to get beyond backup and sharing to make it’s usage an effortless and natural part of your daily work.

In this first release it only supports sharing over the local network (using Bonjour), but collaboration over WAN is on it’s way.
