Hi, I'm the author of the project. I'll be checking for comments here for the next hour or so. Ask me anything. [Well, time to sleep. I'll check back tomorrow.]

Hi, I'm the author of the project. I'll be checking for comments here for the next hour or so. Ask me anything. [Well, time to sleep. I'll check back tomorrow.] If you check out one demo, look at this one: http://prosemirror.net/demo_dino.html http://prosemirror.net/demo_dino.html

have used codemirror extensively for HiveMind (www.crudzilla.com)...donation will follow soon :) Thanks for the great work!

      Works for me, and it's just a static page served up by nginx. Could it be your browser is trying to use IPv6? The only scenario I can think of is that I messed up the IPv6 DNS settings (which I couldn't test from home).

        Switching wireless networks fixed the problem. Thanks! And sorry for the spam.

      It was an IPv6 thing -- I had configured DNS properly but nginx wasn't listening on that interface. All my sites should now be IPv6-reachable.

Hi marijn, thanks for the great work. From what I can see on your repo, you've written your front-end modules in ES6. But what about the back-end? In which language has it been written? nodejs?
- marijn 11y ago
  The collab demo's backend is node.js. You could get collaboration to work by just relaying JSON between clients, but if you want to do intelligent things with the data (keep a snapshot of the current document, for example), you'll need an implementation of the document model, which exist only in JS and would be a bunch of work to port.
  - vkammerer 11y ago
    ok thanks. So, if you open source Prosemirror, will you also release an open source nodejs module that does all the magic for collaborative editing?
    - marijn 11y ago
      Yes. And most of that magic happens client-side, so server implementations can be thin (there's currently no general-purpose server, but I'll definitely open-source the demo).

        ok thanks. donated my 5 euros :)

This is very cool. I'm curious if you have thoughts on this post about Medium's implementation and where you agree or diverged. https://medium.com/medium-eng/why-contenteditable-is-terrible-122d8a40e480 https://medium.com/medium-eng/why-contenteditable-is-terribl...

  I agree with most of their analysis - I linked that URL from the indygogo blurb, in fact. They are doing something similar but less general.
  - avivo 11y ago
    Woops, missed that. This is really excellent, and I just added to your funding campaign. I hope you succeed, I think this is an important piece of software to have exist and I will likely use it.
