Thanks! No, all data is stored either on Amazon S3 or on our servers. The way we make sure that nobody can read your data is using encryption.

- When you create a collaboration link, it contains an encryption key. (You can additionally also set a password.) All messages sent to the server by collaborators are then encrypted with those. The collaboration algorithm is currently quit

In Airborn.io, I've solved this by installing some code in a Service Worker, which verifies all updates: http://blog.airbornos.com/post/2017/08/03/Transparent-Web-Ap... The SW stays installed for wh

While it's a superb article, it strikes me as being distinctly aimed at laypeople, and I suspect someone who studied linguistics might already know large parts of it. (I haven't, but I know parts from having had Latin in school.)

The CSS to reverse the order is: main { display: flex; flex-direction: column-reverse; } The many ::before <style>s are used to update the connection count. If you like these kinds of tricks, there's

Cool! Small nitpicks: the link that's shown to you after you create a link doesn't work; it refers to eaglelink.com instead of eagledial.com. Also, perhaps you could make the error messages (e.g. "That link is already registe

There is a way to verify the new SW file when it updates and warn the user (but not prevent the update), but for now it's quite hacky. - There's an "updatefound" event with which you can listen for updates to the Service

Service Workers can be used to increase security as well, though. You can use it to intercept and check requests and responses against any criteria you like. You can reimplement (variations on) CSP or SRI in them [1], or implement signed

Shameless plug #2: I've been using Service Workers to achieve something similar, without using extensions: http://blog.airbornos.com/post/2017/08/03/Transparent-Web-Ap...

Yeah, I was also hoping for a CMS in 18 lines of code. You could probably just about build something useful if you get opinionated enough, such as sending requests to https://cdn.rawgit.com , parsing Markdown (if you don't c

In Chrome, if you select the second line, right click -> Writing Direction -> Right to Left, it seems to do what you want. Does that help?

That's blocked on https://github.com/w3c/ServiceWorker/issues/1208 . However, there's also an alternative option to make updating the Service Worker unnecessary, by making a "stub" Service

Thanks a lot! It has indeed been years of work, and while the Firetext editor existed as a mobile Firefox OS app, a big chunk of work has still gone into it. The presentations app is closer to how it already was, though.

What browser and OS are you using? It works for me.

It works fine for me with a 64 character password. Maybe the server errored out randomly that time. What browser are you using? If you shoot me an email with your username, I'll delete your account and files manually.

If you select an RTL interface language, the UI becomes RTL. And in Chrome, you can select RTL in the editor in the context menu. Are you looking for something similar to that in Firefox, or are there any other issues with RTL?

Yes, that's true, but the author (or intermediary-who-delivers-the-binary) can also.. not sign it (deliver an unsigned version). Often, you don't have many other options than to trust the binary the website is serving you.

"Born in the air" is indeed why I named it that, after I got the idea from the book by Kenneth Oppel with the same name.
