# Let's start from a normal academic day...

---

# Writing

* Writing bibliography

<br/>

* Copy and paste statistics and results 😱

<br/>

* Tables and figures 😱

<br/>

* Collaboration

]

---

# Literate programming in R

---

---

# Amazing packages for different kinds of documents

---

# What about collaboration?

---

# Why?

* We have to collaborate with people with different backgrounds

* We have to collaborate on **plain text files** (`.Rmd` or `.Rnw`) so before the compilation stage

* We **lack of a collaborative environment** for text-based documents such as the revision mode of Microsoft Word or Google Docs

# Wait! we have GIT for collaboration on plain text files! 😎

# GIT is powerful! but not for text-based documents! 😢

# In an ideal world...

---

## We need a tool that:

* Allow us to easily **collaborate in the same way as a standard Word file**

<br/>

--
* Is **user friendly** for the average user and **powerful** for experts

<br/>

--
* **Keep all amazing features of a literate programming framework**, without any compromises
