Are you looking specifically for Markdown or e.g. a WYSIWYG with Markdown shortcuts support? I’m building something in this space and I’m curious what’s the appeal of the former vs the latter?

I'm working on something similar (i.e. a content editor for developers) with Vrite, that's already open-source: https://github.com/vriteio/vrite It's not the same as acreom (leaning more towards a CMS-li

Why is it a "huge asterisk"? I'm also working on a WYSIWYG editor and using TipTap. It's great, but on its own, it's not a ready editor, but a great framework. There's a lot you can do with TipTap (and ProseMir

MDX, with the custom content involved, is though. I've been working on a hybrid WYSIWYG editor for MDX at Vrite ( https://vrite.io ). Currently supports custom block elements and JSON-serializable attributes. Now looking into

I want to think of marketing as a way of providing valuable content and explaining why your product might be just what the consumer needs (potentially helping them with their problems). What's described above really doesn't fit in

Happy to see the SIM card go away. eSIM provides just so much better experience. This also enables easier installation and setup for basically any carrier. Just download the app, configure eSIM and you're good. Maybe the easier switchi

I've seen quite a few Postman alternatives pop up recently (quite curious what's the reasoning behind that?). Currently I'm mostly using Hoppscotch - also open-source with pretty sweet UI, and Thunder Client in VS Code. That

Love it! Good looking, polished UI. I'm probably most impressed by the easy integration and React API. Congrats.

Pretty cool. I haven't really explored WASM hands-on (I'll give this guide a try) but, given that it's already been a few years, I think it's been hugely beneficial for web development. Not the "JavaScript killer&qu

I think I remember seeing this (or a similar thing) in Solid.js Playground: https://playground.solidjs.com/ The fact that it’s available on mobile and that it allows for “embedding” a good-enough dev tools into your web app

by arek_nawo 3y ago
Also fair points :) I think it all depends on the project’s scale, type (is it part of your infrastructure like a database or all-in-one solution like a CMS, etc.), goals and other factors. It’s difficult to make the right choice at the ver

Thanks for clarifying. I should indeed explain better what I had in mind. You are correct that under AGPL-3.0 people still can provide the software as a service, but they’ll have to disclose any changes to the source code they’ve made. This

So true. I have no problem with using and paying for a hosted, "cloud" version of the product if a self-hosting option is available. It reassures me that I can rely on this product, while not being vendor-locked. I've certain

The site looks good. On a side-note, it’s really great to see that more and more Comercial OSS and other open-source projects become viable businesses. I think this is one of the best way to actually make open-source sustainable.

Not yet. That’s in the pipeline.

Vrite as a whole can be referred to as a headless CMS, though it’s different compared to other tools in this category. Essentially it’s a toolkit intended primarily for technical content (like programming blogs or docs), with multiple featu

Not yet, but if you like what you see and would like to see the diagrams added, please open an issue or discussion on GitHub. This will help manage things better.

In this case, yeah. That's not my goal. However, if a "raw" preview in MD (or other format) is available and editable), plus maybe a Git integration then I think this could be on a compareable level. Either way, seems like I&

The main output is JSON ProseMirror format. Other formats are processed from this JSON using Transformers and Vrite SDK: https://github.com/vriteio/vrite/tree/main/packages/sdk/java... In the G

TipTap is built on ProseMirror. Basic elements of the editor are made in TipTap, while for more advanced use (tables, menus, integrating code editor) I had to tap into ProseMirror. I'm not really familiar with Milkdown so I can't

I'm a bit confused about that. I have heard of but haven't really tried Obsidian. How does what you're describing differs from so-called "Markdown shortcuts" (implemented in my editor and other popular ones like Not

by arek_nawo 3y ago
That's so true! I have a really hard time categorising what Vrite Editor, let alone the entire Vrite is. I can't really describe it in detail as it'd be too long and, to keep it short, some messaging is lost in the process. &

by arek_nawo 3y ago
I can see how this would be useful, though there are some options already available that can do that, e.g. Editor.js or BlockNote.js. Vrite's goal is to be more like a self-hostable writing platform/tool, so making the editor into

Yeah, generic embeds aren't allowed - only CodePen, CodeSandbox, and YouTube. In Vrite, all the embeds are actually processed separately when auto-publishing to different platforms (e.g. Medium, Dev.to, Hashnode), that's why I don

- I don't quite understand what "metadata" you're referring to? - Makes sense. These are the kind of edge cases to figure out with special blocks like code. In theory, the selection you have before enter is a block selec

I'd like to encourage you to check out Vrite as a whole. I'm actively working on this to make it better for documentation and knowledge base management. Good UI and UX are among my top priorities. There's already Kanban for b

If you decide to sign up for Vrite, it provides a JSON output accessible through the API. You can then process it to any format you want using JS SDK and Transformers. MDX doesn't make a lot of sense though as, with the supported featu
