Drag + Drop = Draft

Dropping text on ecto’s Dock icon should create a new draft containing the dropped text.
If the text were from a web page, the text could be automatically marked up as a quote or blockquote, with the cite attribute set to the URL of the source page. This would obviously depend on ecto being able to determine the URL of the page from which the text came.
AOpen gets no love for displaying a total lack of creativity by blatantly copying the Mac mini’s design.
Try the latest build (build, not release). Note that there’s no way to find out where the text is coming from.
