I'm curious how easy it's going to be to (1) download the git repo from the backend, and (2) format the articles to meet specific journal requirements for submission.
Hi, Authorea co-founder here. A bit surprised to see us on the front page.
1. Full access to the git repository will be added soon. It wasn't our main concern initially as we wanted it to be easy to work on articles for an academic researcher who wasn't familiar with git.
2. This currently requires some post-authorea cleanup. We are also working on making this much easier. The main pain point that we are trying to solve currently is making collaboration on articles easy.
Great to hear that these things are planned. I think #2 is really quite important, because if there isn't a simple path to preparing a submission-ready document, then there is still a major point of friction in the process.
Hi, Authorea consultant here. I completely agree. It's important to provide a seamless way to export Authorea articles to submission-ready format, for example by including the relevant Journal style file (or even giving users the option to chose from a list). Work in progress.
