<p><em>My answer to <a href="https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-use-cases-for-Quip/answer/Simon-Willison">What are the best use cases for Quip?</a> on Quora</em></p> <p>If you just want a word processor with good formatting options, Quip probably isn't (yet) the right tool for you. Quip excels at collaborative document editing - if you need to write a blog post for your company's blog with someone else, or put together a project plan, or collaborate on a report - all examples where effective collaboration on content is more important than formatting.</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/quora">quora</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/quip">quip</a></p>
