Thanks for the compliments, and great question! For launch, we have not delved deeply into the bowels of InDesign's format so it's not definitively off the table -- just a prioritization of resources for now.

With Lucidchart, we are the only diagramming app that imports Microsoft Visio's native file format...so it's not unprecedented for us to tackle these types of things.

Some of you may know our first product, Lucidchart (http://www.lucidchart.com) which is a browser-based diagramming app.

We are excited to bring that same technology to the layout and publishing space. Please let us know if you have any feedback!

The good news is that this has become a forefront issue. Governor Herbert has started making air quality a priority, but also key local groups like Envision Utah.

Fixing the inversion problem though will take active involvement from the community. If we could get 1/3 of the cars off the road on the 10 days/year it mattered the most, it would be a game-changer. The tech companies in the area could make a big difference in this effort if they let their collective thousands of employees work from home on those days.

I agree that this seems to be one of the major lags. Though we are based in Utah, my company raised our seed round entirely from investors outside of Utah (Google Ventures, 500Startups, etc.).

We only had to do one thing to double our valuation -- book a plane ticket from the Salt Lake airport to San Francisco.

Are there other similar sites that you could name (either for closed or open betas)?

Thus far we have seen our transactional emails also going to Promotions, as well as our standard marketing emails.

This could be both good and bad. Bad because as you mention, the user won't see it immediately even if they requested it. Good because if the user actually uses and likes your service, they may start to take those transactional emails to their Priority inbox which could train it to also respect the marketing type e-mails as Priority as well. Again, this would only happen if the user actually likes your service.
