Hello all you PHP devs,
I'm building an Open Source text editor accessible through the web. It
has been brewing for a while in one form or another. But I think I
finally have something solid to build on. I would like some feedback on
things people like/dislike about their current editors.
I currently have a basic system working with a login, file browser,
ability to load/save files and syntax highlighting working. All
keystrokes are sent through a client-side JavaScript API built on JQuery.
This would seem to imply that something usable is not more than a few
weeks away, so I figured I would get some input now while things are
still quite flexible. All suggestions are welcome, though not all will be
implemented.
If you want, you can visit the web site for the project at
un1tware.wordpress.com. There's a link to a video demo, as well as a the
current version of the source code to try out.
As well, the project can be found at github.com/bhus/scriptr. I have
tried to make the README readable and yet comprehensive.
