Show HN: Collaborative text editing with unobtrusive markdown and code highlighting
- Old_Thrashbarg 11y agoVery cool!
- fiatjaf 11y agoWhat is the stack?
- c0da 11y agoIt's almost pure front-end using Firebase + Firepad (https://firepad.io/ https://firepad.io/). The editor uses CodeMirror (http://codemirror.net/ http://codemirror.net/) and custom highlighting rules. The backend (what little of it exists) is in Flask :)

- drvortex 11y agoInterface fail, uses about 30% of a 1920x1080display for the "editor". Use proper UI scaling please.
- reitanqild 11y agoWhy markdown everywhere, don't we have better markup languages?
- rspeer 11y agoReally? What are they? Markdown seems perfect for this case where the markup is the rendered content.
- detaro 11y agoDo we? Recently looked into that and it didn't seem like there is something clear-cut superior, sadly...
- reitanqild 11y agoAsciidoc seems superior to me at least. IIRC Dokuwiki wasn't too bad either. Standard Markdown used to lack some important constructs, again IIRC.
- rspeer 11y agoAdd an easy way to link to other pages without having to type the full URL, and you've got a radical improvement on a wiki. Perhaps you could use double-bracket links like GitHub wikis use, so this would be a [[ubpdk|link to another document]].
- malloryerik 11y agoVery cool, but what's the issue with mobile? I use Swype and it only inputs the first letter of each word.
