Hi Michi -- since the cloud and OT model is so similar to Google Drive, have you considered integration with that, as a Drive app, using Drive revisions?

I love the idea of Arc Studio, but I also keep everything in my Drive... that might make it harder for Drive and non-Drive users to collaborate, but I'm not sure.

But besides that, +1000! It's about time there was a cloud-based webapp for screenwriting.

Thanks for the kind words!

We do plan to offer backups to Google Drive and Dropbox, i.e. you can have your screenplays placed there automatically and periodically, to avoid data lock in.

Or are you thinking of a closer integration, e.g. being able to edit from Google Docs?

Not edit from Google Docs, but have the original stored in Drive, utilizing Drive's own built-in revision history. And even have it be an "Arc Studio" filetype, that when double-clicked would open the webapp directly.

I'm just very Drive-centric, not sure what your userbase is like, but it would just feel very natural to have my screenplay files next to all my Google Docs and Sheets files where I write/track everything else for every project of mine.
