  • Project mention: How I optimized Carousel for EditorJS 2x in size. | dev.to | 2024-03-29

    I am supporting a project where lawyers, advisors can publish articles or news, to get more attention and clients. Initially it was made through TinyMCE, but they wanted not just HTML, but also a way of showing many pictures with interactions. I was seeking UI editor like Medium, and I guess best what I found was EditorJS and during checking its Awesome List there were several carousel plugins and I stopped on this.

  • Project mention: Show HN: A note-keeping system on top of Fossil SCM | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-25

    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.

  • Project mention: Show HN: Quasar Prime: Vue.js Admin Template | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-27

    What does this bring that the Quasar framework doesn’t already? This sure looks like an ad for a barely preconfigured quasar template—but it’s impossible to tell.

    Also, no BuSL stupidity, they're all Apache 2 AFAIK: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/idea/23...

    And the "all you can eat" toolbox license is just a staggeringly good deal, IMHO, which also comes with a "you can keep your license forever, just no updates" which is way different from setting subscription-based licensing money on fire when your license expires. Whoever came up with that should be applauded because it really drives down my "what about" anxiety of paying subscription money for IDEs

  • medium-editor

    Medium.com WYSIWYG editor clone. Uses contenteditable API to implement a rich text solution.

  • Project mention: WYSIWYG editor for a new Rails project | /r/rails | 2023-12-10

    The MediumEditor clone looks great, but I wanted a traditional toolbar and the last commit it seems was 3+ years ago.

    I mostly work on MacOS these days and previously my general purpose text editor wax Textmate: https://github.com/textmate/textmate

    Last official release was 2021, so I looked for something more regularely updated, and found CudaText. Definitely very Sublime-ish, and I like it so far.
