I'd be interested in that as well. Trying to build something that's geared heavily toward developmental/structural editing, and connecting freelancers with writers. Could I send you an email?
And a follow-up to that: have you ever, or would you ever consider, paying for feedback/editing services on a post you write? Would the ROI be worth it for you (in particular, for a marketing blog)? Or at that point would it be easier to pay a PR firm to write for you?
I would consider paying a small amount for feedback/editing but I would expect the feedback to be very good otherwise, I would not continue to use the service.
I would also consider to exchange feedback for feedback.
"Gödel, Escher, Bach" was my highschool sweetheart, although I probably wouldn't spend another 800 pages on it again. But the overarching concept of "emergence" (of formal systems) blew me away back then, and stuck with me in all sorts of spindly ways since.
Highly relevant to today's political climate, "Authority and American Usage" is an essay that's sometimes frustrating, but also one that I think everybody should read. DFW establishes the idea of a "Democratic Spirit" as a sort of worldview to speak and interact through. It's really good and important:

That's cool, thanks! I was more asking in terms of case studies and information-sharing. Trevor Blackwell's tool seems like it's more for the idealist/planning stage.
I'm working on a Node.js app, which'll be hosted on http://xervo.io -- formerly modulus.io
Not as over-engineered as Heroku for small projects, but you still get free LetsEncrypt SSL certs, auto-scaling (for us wishful thinkers), and an integrated/cheap MongoDB (which I haven't messed with). A small side-project runs $7.20/month. I had a good experience with them on a previous Meteor project, so I'm looking forward to using it again.
Yep, I'll be enforcing a max file size (it's only for text-based documents). I guess my bigger concern is spam. Allowing a user to upload an "unlimited" amount of data is a DOS vector, especially since I'm the sole dev. So I'll need to do some sort of curtailing, but hopefully the kind that would be invisible to anyone using the site for its normal purpose.
