![]() And by WYSISWYG, I mean I want to type, and press Ctrl+B to write in bold, and Ctrl+I for italic and right click to insert hyperlink and so on. I'm looking into ASCIIDOC but even that looks like it's very similar to markdown. So formats which require me to render to HTML etc, are a no go. Other times, it's really not worth the effort. I really like it, but only pull it out when I need to write a paper and want the output in PDF. I do use LaTeX but only when I need ultra sharp looking documents with specific needs. This really hurts productivity when you're editing large documents and increases the barrier for new comers. I don't really have time to spend doing the edit->render->see where you went wrong->edit cycle. I'm looking for a WYSISWYG tool, like google docs/docx. I'm still waiting for some of those applications to properly handle a big file and I don't want to wait so long for those applications to even open.ĮDIT: Thanks for the replies. I'm interested to see that does everyone else use for documents? And please don't suggest docx+open/libre office. I'm talking about how markdown never actually stores pictures inside the document, but just links to them, and you'll have to use a specific application to view the rendered markdown, and a different one to edit or make new ones. I've seen people talk about stuff like org-mode, etc, but they all lack the fluidity and the WYSIWYG nature of Google docs, docx etc. ![]() When ever I try to maintain documents for long term storage, markdown seems like the only good format. I think we're are in need of a lightweight document format, which is more complex than markdown, but needn't be as complex as docx.Ī quick google shows some results which look like pet projects of small business which have obviously failed (since I've never heard of them before)Īll of these new document formats that are pushed by big companies (some are really great I actually love using Google Docs) try to tie the user as close to their eco-system as possible. This file has been truncated.Another closed file format. Still in the early stage, feel free to fork or contribute to HackMD. Inspired by Hackpad, with more focus on speed and flexibility. HackMD lets you create realtime collaborative markdown notes on all platforms. ![]() hackmdio/hackmd/blob/master/README.md HackMD HackMD looks good, you could spin up a server via docker or similar and use it with the external sites app… Until such time someone creates an app to link them. Never the less it is still worked on, see: Wiki like functionality is something that could fit quite well to Nextcloud, and with the recent final closure of Hackpad on July 19th, see: maybe it would be time to adopt that project as a Nextcloud app? It has been open-source for a while after Dropbox aquired it, but with their push to DropBox Paper ( ), not too much further development happed. Revive Hackpad with an Nextcloud integration? app ideas It is more an observation and a board when I write ideas in the goal of others do the same to increase nextcloud and build a better software (even if now, nextcloud is even better that I could have hopped ! ) This post is not an unproductive critic and even less a sterile attack. Evernote or other product users want ergonomy and a homogeneous solution between desktop and smartphone.Nextcloud users (or developpers ?) think that a note app which create text files is a very good and producive app beacause they can open it with a simple text editor. ![]() Not especially because of more devs people on a project, on more money. This could be where we meet the free software boarder with proprietary. When I test paper or evernote, I do not see any anchor in front of my titles, I can underline and cross easily my text, I can create lists and spredsheet etc. Dropbox paper is an improved concept of note apps.Īnd excuse me but we can’t compare apps such as evernote / paper and nextcloud note app.
