What Jamie wrote
Brett Terpstra shared that he was building this app and it instantly caught my attention. I just created the Yearly Thing book which started as Markdown. Vellum did a great job of producing the final book, but in the middle I had to convert from Markdown to Microsoft Word files. That part freaked me out. My Markdown was super clean and known to be correct. Pandoc made it easy to convert to word, but that conversion then into Vellum to me felt like it could introduce all sorts of weird complexities. It was okay for me, but I would have preferred to stay in Markdown all the way to publish and BlogBook amongst other things looks like it will allow that.
Separately, the idea of publishing my blog each year as a book seems like a great way to archive that for the future. I suspect that will be a primary use case for this.
