Nathan Baschez looks back on the launch moment of Lex, an AI-native word processor positioned as a better Google Docs. It pairs a minimalist interface with AI editing: AI feedback and rewriting, comments, versioning, one-click title ideas, read-only publish links, and live collaboration via shareable links with no app download. The site claims over 300,000 writers use it, with the AI real-time editor credited for faster draft iteration.
