1. Because stories are long, it should have multiple views for the same file. SO that writers can recap what they have written much earlier without losing their current context.

2. Quick find for "Markers" / sections of the writing, so that one can easily scroll up to Chapter 1.2, say.

3. Multi-cursor like Sublime Text to edit multiple mentions of the same name, say

4. Spell-check, it is rudimentary.

Yes, I understand that it probably wont be possible to run instantly. But manual approval should be possible within 24 hours, allowing for next-day ADs.

As for local Ads, in my country India those are run only in "local cable channels" which is basically some extra channels inserted by local cable providers (in US, I think(?) there are only nationwide cable providers). There is little scope for such deals in mainstream channels.

Wow, I didnt know this things actually existed.

On the hindsight, we will need bigger players. Because the physical Ad networks in different countries are so wildly different that it'll need to approach them one-by-one like Uber. Probably, they wont be able to buy in bulk just at first, instead will use some local 3rd-party providers.

Infact, this distinction of login system from the account itself can help in interesting consequences.

Consider like a command-line app running (actual stuff you do after login) along with a separate command center (your email), so that you could do queries about your account like who are logged in, logout everyone, or are there any pending notifications, and even is the service properly running?

But yes, people today dont like to do anything other than clicking buttons, so only geeks would be impressed with this.

How about telling them to reply something like "ok" to the email just sent on login request. That email should properly have this instruction written so that someone can copy paste that code word if required.

Also, the email can have pre-built email link with the text and aprropiate sender written so that one just click it and send.

This is pretty sweet, animated really well and might even reduce the non-humanly touch a little bit.

HumbleMatch is made to add a zing to your mundane type-checking and duck-checking code.

* Check your function arguments reliably, add more flexible signatures and most of all, have a lovely API.

* Or just sprinkle some assert checks to ensure the data is what you expect it to be at any point.
