Reddit startup idea
DraftTrail Writing Links
A lightweight, link-based writing environment that captures verifiable drafting evidence (keystroke events, timestamps, revision playback) without requiring student accounts. Teachers send a unique link per assignment; students write in-browser with paste restricted and the teacher receives a clear, exportable “writing process record” instead of an AI probability score.

DraftTrail Writing Links
A lightweight, link-based writing environment that captures verifiable drafting evidence (keystroke events, timestamps, revision playback) without requiring student accounts. Teachers send a unique link per assignment; students write in-browser with paste restricted and the teacher receives a clear, exportable “writing process record” instead of an AI probability score.
Target customer
Middle and high school teachers assigning written work (ELA, social studies, humanities) and department heads who need defensible academic integrity workflows without heavy LMS changes.
Problem-solution fit
The post explicitly asks for a simple environment where students must write in the tool and teachers get a clean timestamp history, because detectors (Turnitin/GPTZero) aren’t reliable and manual Google Doc auditing doesn’t scale. This replaces subjective AI detection with objective process evidence (draft timeline + replay + anomalies like long idle + sudden bursts), reducing disputes and teacher time spent investigating.
