  • Show HN: A note-keeping system on top of Fossil SCM
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Oct 2023
    I used a note system built on top of Fossil as my primary system for quite a while. Here are the details in case anyone is interested.

    Fossil allows CGI extensions[1]. There's a database for tickets, but that's just a regular SQLite table that you can use to store anything you want, and it's version controlled and queryable. I stored the notes plus metadata in the tickets database. The CGI returned HTML with the Ace editor for creating/editing notes.[2] Notes were stored using the command line.[3] I needed to add the web server user to the sudoers file to access the Fossil binary.

    There were two reasons to use Fossil for this. The biggest was that it handled authentication. The second is that I had a version controlled database to do all the work for me.

    I think I eventually moved away from it because I prefer working locally. The "transition" was dumping the data out of the database and into markdown files.

  • Writing a (simple) code editor for the web?
    4 projects | /r/AskProgramming | 8 Apr 2023
    Hey there! Thanks for reaching out. Writing a code editor with syntax highlighting in a browser can be a little tricky, but it's definitely doable. One resource that might be helpful is the Ace Editor library (https://ace.c9.io/). It's a lightweight but powerful editor that includes syntax highlighting for a huge range of languages. You could also check out CodeMirror (https://codemirror.net/), which is another popular library for building web-based code editors. Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
  • The ShnooTalk programming language
    6 projects | /r/ProgrammingLanguages | 10 Nov 2022
    The frontend uses the ace editor for syntax highlighting and then sends all the "text" you have typed to a python backend. The backend then writes all the text to a temporary directory and calls the compiler using subprocess (something similar to os.system).

  • Frontend library for syntax highlighting / validation of uBlock rules
    4 projects | /r/uBlockOrigin | 14 Aug 2022
    Thanks for the suggestion! Although Ace is not the most popular kid in the block, it is still maintained. It does support tmLanguage and could be used for a proof-of-concept editor!

  • Running Vim Text Editor in the Browser with WebAssembly
    2 projects | /r/vim | 3 Jun 2022
    This would cool to use as an embedded editor browser plugin. Surfingkeys' quirky vim emualation editor, Ace, could be replaced. for example. I think there are other plugins that emulate vim or remotely use neovim, but this approach would be so much better.
  • I created a chrome extension for enabling relative line numbering in Overleaf
    3 projects | /r/vim | 21 May 2022
    It turns out that Overleaf uses the open-source Ace editor, which actually has an option for relative line numbering, but toggling it is not possible in the Overleaf UI. However, it can be enabled from the browser console by running these lines of code.
