Show HN: I've built open-source, collaborative, WYSIWYG Markdown editor Inspired by the design and UI/UX of apps like Notion, and utility of open-source apps like StackEdit, I decided to create a minimalistic, local-only WYSIWYG Markdown editor. Some features worth highlighting: - Monaco editor and Prettier integration for code snippets - Tables (apparently the holy grail of WYSIWYG editing) - Embeds (for CodePen, CodeSandbox and YouTube, most useful for HTML or JSON exports) - Accepts Markdown paste-in, and "exports"/generates HTML, Markdown and JSON outputs - Collaboration (with real-time awareness and initial commenting system, available only when logged in) - GPT-3.5 integration (only when logged-in with the corresponding extension installed) Stack used: TipTap, Solid.js, HocusPocus, Fastify, tRPC. Some notable drawbacks: - No mobile support - Collaboration available only between signed-in users, in the same workspace; - I tried my best to support most common Markdown formatting, pasting and in-editor shortcuts, though there might still be room for improvement - Self-hosting isn't easy right now, though you should be able to figure it out from the source code The editor itself is a standalone app, extracted from the larger Vrite CMS project ( https://ift.tt/t38yi5D ) which you can also test out (only with sign-in) here: https://app.vrite.io/ https://ift.tt/5RNV3Ji June 23, 2023 at 06:10PM
