Hi Michael! Thanks for mentioning that this tripped you up; it’s always super important for us to hear about this kind of frustration. Indeed, the Draft site isn’t allowing sign-up anymore. For now, the integration is working for members who already have a Draft account, so I don’t think we’ll withdraw it entirely, but we do need to have a think about how to make that clear for those who aren’t able to sign up, to avoid frustration.
I don’t know if we have any contact with the app creator, but definitely digging into this and deciding what to do is on our radar!
Eek! I’ve been using Draft for a long time, this is such a bummer to see Looking at it, the settings page isn’t even working. Guess I need to be on the look out for a new way to Beemind word count.
Edit: I sent two e-mails, a Twitter DM, and a LinkedIn connect to Nate. I’ll update if i get a response.
It’s a slick and pretty web-based editor with nice collaboration features and that does version control nicely in a normal-person-friendly way. And it has an interesting metric for beeminding: words added plus words deleted. So you’re not just incentivized to endlessly braindump. You’re also incentivized to pare that braindumping down into something publishable.
