TeX is what we are supporting currently, and should be launching shortly. If you drop me an email at toni (at) banyan.co, I will get you beta access in the next few days to our git powered, collaborative latex editor.

Thanks for pointing out scigit, Im a big fan of what they are doing. We dont support Word yet, but I do recognize that older P.I. / professors wont leave Word easily/ever. We have some solutions on the way for that.

Hi raffenet, We have used gitlab components & also contributed back to gitlab. Its a great project, but I can assure you we have an entirely different product. Were just leveraging OSS projects like any other startup

We have similar ideas for integrations with those tools, with the exception of latex. With latex, we have our own online editor with some neat git integration.

Absolutely. Our first target was initially bioinformatics, but we are moving into supporting all sciences. Our goal is to make sharing, collaborating & publishing research as simple as possible. We are huge fans of git, and we want to l

Our main two differences from github is that we built banyan to be version control for "humans". Our mac application for example is extremely simple to use, and was designed with an 18 year old undergraduate/55 year old lab veteran in mind.

Banyan, the "GitHub of Science", is now in public beta(blog.banyan.co)

The original ghost platform was supposed to be developed in php http://john.onolan.org/ghost/ Im guessing thats why OP specified node.js in the title

by twog 13y ago
Im a little confused by the choice to use Node.js, whats the purpose? The creator says that ghost is not a blogging platform for developers, but then builds a node.js blog?

From what I can tell, thats basically what Betaworks are buying from Instapaper as well. Its not "technically challenging".
