Delete line support
Currently I did not found any option to delete a line, that I do not want to use. If it is available, it'd be good to place it in line of sight, if not, give an option to delete an unused line.

as you say it would be nice but maybe not a core feature so i guess that puts it a bit towards the end of the todo list.

Add formatting support
Seems to me that Doingtext is great for late stage texts, or maybe that's not the point? So some sort of formatting support would probably be a good idea.
Keep it up! Text authoring is in dire need of a revolution.

add some workflow help
While the idea is pretty cool in some environments it just "doesn't fit" in some other, even though the collaborative aspect would fit perfectly. From my experience as a professional magazine contributor I miss:
- adding images. Don't get me wrong: I am not talking about layout things, but I want to be able to add /replace images pretty easily.
- adding, what I would call, semantic markup: this is something where you would "mark" a paragraph with some special note, saying: this one becomes a footnote, or this one becomes a second level heading, or this one is just… more3 votes -

Search and Replace
Sometimes I found words or phrases that need to be changed in the entire document and it is time consuming to search and replace it manually. Also it is hard to search the document via the build in brwoser search because I must scroll down several times until the document is fully displayed.

Lists on one line
Lists should not automatically be split into separate lines. Kind of annoying when re-ordering ideas and such.

Sprechblasenfarben nach "doc last seen" Zeit ändern
sprechblasenfarben ändern sich nach realer Zeit - wenn ich nach 12 Stunden in ein doc schaue, werden sie nicht mehr als NEU angezeigt. das macht keinen Sinn.
Die Farben sollten mir Anzeigen, was seit meinem letzten Aufruf des docs neues passiert ist.

About Us - Start - Moto - Idea
It should be explained / described / suggested in short, somewhere at start, what doingText is meant to be for!
I'm still struggeling, and don't have much time to search for the main purpose of it.
It's also supposed to be a part of the marketing / PR - what are you trying to "sell" here, who is your target population, what can I do with it..?

Allow switching between normal full text and per line edits
This might already be possible but it would be nice to decide that a document has to be reorganised as a whole and then switch back to the original single document view that you get when you start the discussion.
