It looks beautiful :- ) (looking at https://epiphany.pub/post?refId=2684bc94f9fcb9ffe637ebfbeba2af8c797c6ad9a66181026ee4bd3806b6f211 https://epiphany.pub/post?r

Who is the target audience? (Live coding? Is it mainly for software people?) Social publishing — how does that work? (which features from Medium do you have in mind?) Is it ok if I ask, does it have a business model? Which rich text editor & Markdown editor libraries do you use? I'm thinking about using ProseMirror myself :- )

Thank you very much! > You have any example of a page with comments? https://epiphany.pub/post?refId=3e123914a88818452d7f2c24fd8ad079ad621a5e94f514cca5598fb9479d5342 https://epiphany.pub/post?refId=3e123914a88818452d7f2c24fd8a... > Who is the target audience? (Live coding? Is it mainly for software people?) This is a solo side project so far, but I really want to turn it into a startup. I started by scratching my own itch. As a tech blogger, I want a platform like medium, where I can connect with new interesting contents and interesting people, and I can have my work pushed to wider audiences. I also like the expressiveness of live programs, such as those on jupyter notebooks. My initial targeted audiences would be tech bloggers, who could only show static images, prerecorded videos and embedded github snippets on their old platform. I want Epiphany to grow into a community like dev.to. Then I also want to attract academic content creators. I'm attending YC startup school now. I badly need feedback on this idea to see if it has potential. I will appreciate if you could provide some feedback. > Social publishing — how does that work? (which features from Medium do you have in mind?) I wrote tech articles on medium that one day I want to turn into a book: https://medium.com/mlreview/l1-norm-regularization-and-sparsity-explained-for-dummies-5b0e4be3938a https://medium.com/mlreview/l1-norm-regularization-and-spars... on Epiphany, anyone can start a "publish" in one of the two forms, a journal or a book. Then other bloggers could contribute to your journal or book. You can select a group of editors to proof read and approve the submissions. > Is it ok if I ask, does it have a business model? My initial focus is a digital textbook marketplace. Imagine professionals from all different places collaborate on a book about a latest technology with demonstrations in runnable programs, like blockchain. And Epiphany will be a market place for those contents. Students will subscribe with a monthly fee, which will distributed to the creators. > Which rich text editor & Markdown editor libraries do you use? I'm thinking about using ProseMirror myself :- ) The current version is based on the Monaco editor. But it's more ideal for programs, not so for writing markdown. I'm remaking the markdown editor with ProseMirror now, which should be deployed this week. The new editor supports realtime markdown, inspired by https://typora.io/ https://typora.io/ . the markdown parser is markdown-it.
