Bindersnap

My wife complained — repeatedly, correctly — about the policy management platform at her work. Version control for documents is a solved problem, but the solution is locked inside developer tooling that nobody outside engineering would ever agree to use.

Bindersnap is that solution with the developer assumptions removed: painless all-in-one document management, a real review lifecycle, team collaboration, search, and an in-browser editor. Branch, review, merge and history, for people who have never opened a terminal.

Status: honest version

It is a solo side project and it does not get the love it deserves from me. Grad school and a full-time job both have opinions about my evenings. The plan is to eventually hire interns to handle sales and grind down a backlog I will otherwise never reach.

I am keeping it here because it is the project that best shows how I think about product: find the group who was told the good tool is not for them, and remove the reason.
