This is so simple. Well done. Collaboration wise, and editing wise, this is just a magnificent solution. All native.
Something to work on, as this is really plain jane:-
Media embedding? Comments? Custom URL generation? Some nice custom CSS's available? Microsoft Word support? If I upload my Thesis (MS Word), will the tables/pictures be automatically uploaded?
There is a chapter that I want to upload straightaway, and this solution can be a godsend solution for that purpose. Cut the chapter and drop it in the folder. 5 second work. I am amazed by the simplicity.
- dmerfield 12y agoThese are all great ideas. Media embedding is already possible using markdown. I plan to add a feature to embed media that you put inside Blot's folder. Here's what I'm planning to add to Blot, roughly ordered by priority. 1. Comments 2. Support for other file formats. RTF will be the easiest to add next, then DOC and perhaps PDF. There are libraries which make this relatively straightforward but I need to evaluate them first. 3. Custom blog post URLs. More generally allow you to customize each post's metadata. 4. Photo posts
- graphene 12y agoFor 2., pandoc recently gained the ability to read .docx files; might be useful for you to have a look at. Incidentally, what markdown converter are you using at the moment?
- dmerfield 12y agoI'm currently using marked, which has worked wonderfully: https://github.com/chjj/marked https://github.com/chjj/marked And will look into pandoc, thank you!
