Hackpad was backed by Y Combinator and, prior to its acquisition, it counted the likes of Airbnb, Stripe and Upworthy among its customer base. Alternatively, they can opt out of the transition altogether, which will mean that their data will be deleted forever when the service is switched off.

All Hackpad notes are set to automatically migrate to Dropbox Paper before that date, but users can opt to do that now: either direct to Paper or via a zip file. “That feedback has been really helpful for designing Dropbox Paper - a product inspired by the Hackpad community,” he added. “I’m so grateful for all the enthusiasm and feedback from the Hackpad community over the last several years, and I’m excited to share what’s coming next,” Igor Kofman, who founded Hackpad and now leads the Dropbox Paper team, wrote in a note. Not only did it open source the service in 2015, allowing its community to build on top of it, but Hackpad (and its team) is the driving force behind the recently launched Dropbox Paper app.
HACKPAD DROPBOX PAPER SOFTWARE
Unlike the usual (and inevitable) demise of a promising software startup following a corporate acquisition - ahem Microsoft on at least two occasions - Dropbox deserves credit for letting Hackpad live on. Whether this is technically possible is another question only you or your developers can answer.Cloud sharing giant Dropbox announced this week it will shutter document collaboration service Hackpad, which it acquired way back in 2014, next month. This is certainly not an ideal solution but still very helpful for users who travel a lot.

Once things are back to online mode the citations Google Docs could be rendered as usual. The ref IDs could be looked up from a dump of the Paperpile reference database to a RIS/Bibtex or tabular file, which is essentially how I write in Latex (with Bibtex file from Paperpile) when I am offline.
HACKPAD DROPBOX PAPER OFFLINE
Here users could write on their paper in Google Docs offline mode and add citations manually by ref IDs in this or a similar unformatted style. Also this or a similar workaround could provide partial support for offline writing with Paperpile (discussed in another thread). This would be extremely useful for the time being since Word (Office Online) support is not available yet.

Please also note, if these placeholders could also be used to format a Google Docs, then we could import Word/Endnote documents into Google Docs which would get you very close to a full Word/Endnote interchange feature in Paperpile.

Essentially one would output two files: the RIS file which works already PLUS a Word file with the citations in unformatted EndNote style. When it comes to finalizing papers and grant applications every team of authors will switch to the writing tool the weakest link in the team is able to handle rather than the one they should be using as there is never an excuse for missing a deadline.Įxactly. Expecting and/or teaching every colleague to switch to GDocs works only in some collaborations. Perhaps this could be handled simply by introducing a special citation style that mimics the unformatted Endnote style? - I have found myself in many collaborative writing situations where this would have been extremely useful. This way MS Word/Endnote users (vast majority of authors in academia) can continue to work with GDocs/Paperpile documents using MS Word/Endnote without re-associating every citation manually with their reference manager. In this context, the following MS Word support utility, which I brought up before in a private support request, would help a lot already:Ī simple option to format/export the google docs text with citations in the unformated Endnote style (curly braces with the reference ID in Endnote style).
