This is really excellent. I like the concept a lot. Here are some of the things I really like:
- This uses a proportional font. Most web-based editors I've seen so far used monospace, which, frankly, makes them bad for writing prose. The font is really nice, too. Also, importantly, proper line spacing!
- The F11 feature is clever.
- The word count on the bottom is unobtrusive and elegant.
My use case is writing long (30.000 words+) documents with few formulae. Right now I use Vim, which is nice feature-wise, of course, but not perfect for prose. I write using "markdown" markup, for headings, italics and so forth. I use pandoc to turn it into LaTeX and xelatex to turn that into a PDF. It works beautifully, even for academic texts.
What I love about Vim are its key-bindings. It would be fantastic to add this to wabasabi. I don't whink I'll use another editor which doesn't have this feature. I'm sure I am in a tiny minority in this respect.
You could also add pandoc integration in the future. It's a great piece of software. It also has a few extensions to markdown, including footnotes and bibliographic references. It's extensible as well.
I just wrote this comment using wabisabi, and I like the experience a lot. Are you going to turn this into a commercial project? If you need help, send me a mail (in my profile).
- ruidlopes 15y agoThanks for you comment and suggestions! Regarding key bindings, I'm planning on adding some soon, so that it can be fully interacted via keyboard (not sure if I'll use vim bindings exclusively — non-geeks don't know about vim). On pandoc integration, it's complicated, since the server-side is implemented in node.js. Anyway, my To-Do has an item on supporting markdown :) Finally, this won't be commercialized. As long as I have few-to-none costs supporting the hosting, it'll be free forever (i.e., why the heck people have to pay for these kind of editors?)
