A couple days ago, writing + version control website Editorially.com announced that they will be shutting down [1]. It's a really great execution, but unfortunately they couldn't sustain. Editorially uses an in-browser markdown interface for writing and editing. For version control they rolled their own system instead of utilizing an existing one.
I'm working on something similar (Penflip.com), but I approached it from a different angle. On Penflip, all projects are backed by git repositories with full git access, so you can work online or offline. With the import tool, I'm consolidating the Editorially markdown files (each revision stored as a separate file) into git repos. Full revision history remains intact.
