There's also the added benefit of being able to support users without JavaScript, which includes a large portion of iOS/Android users. http://stephanierieger.com/a-plea-for-progressive-enhancemen...

Along with the right-click menu, I plan on creating keyboard shortcuts for text stylization (Ctrl+B for bold, etc). This would allow one to bold/unbold in the process of writing without touching their mouse, as well as to easily bold select

I'm happy that somebody recognized this :) It was a huge pain to mold the contenteditable element into a polished wiki editor, but I'm pretty proud of the results.

That is a description of a historical event, not an original work :) Like I said, mass collaboration works for some things, like recording facts. However, if you wanted to write about a fictional nuclear disaster for a video game you're dev

Not exactly. Where Piki lacks in collaboration features, I believe it's far ahead of any other wiki engine in terms of user experience, considering the user is someone who wishes to have a place to organize their own thoughts and ideas.

I figured that letting people write without an account was not worth the added complexity, especially for a minimum viable product. You are free to look at any of the published wikis; the interface for writing a wiki looks almost exactly th

Thank you, that's what I was going for! Piki will never use a markup language, but I plan to add drag-and-drop image embedding and right-click text stylization. People who seem to take the most interest in this also express desire to use it

I chose to focus on making Piki as useful as possible for smaller wikis written by individual writers. That's untypical of a wiki engine, but I think it's something worth exploring. Mass collaboration is great for some things, but the most

Sorry about the overload; this is my first web app and I can't afford to use anything above Heroku's free plan. I will look into the garbled text problem. :)

Ideally I would like to keep it as a service. Is there anything I could offer other than the server to convince you to use Piki?

The thing is that pickup artistry is a school of thought developed in the part of society populated with folks who like to get fake tans and club every weekend with girls whose lack of wit is matched only by their lack of self-respect.

This is a very good point. Perhaps it is time to think about what a modern web truly should be. The web has many things going for it. It's no mystery why it's so popular. It's the leading platform to share information and media with the wor

As a platform for game development, there is much better out there than HTML5. With HTML5 you have to deal with many serious faults that do not exist when working with many other platforms. HTML5 canvas doesn't feature the ability to turn o
