webwriter's Introduction

WebWriter

iA Writer for Mac ported to Javascript for WebKit.

Philosophy behind this project

WebWriter was an experiment to port iA Writer for Mac without any Javascript Framework.

Goals (2 years ago)

  • Avoid Javascript Frameworks such jQuery or Mootools (Make everything from scratch).
  • Avoid ContentEditable (Emulate every key event with a hidden textarea).
  • Avoid native cursor (The key of the project document.caretRangeFromPoint)
  • Avoid Javascript animations and use CSS3 animations (Check the cursor animation).
  • Avoid render the full content with Markdown (Only parsing the affected lines).

Why Webkit?

I had other goals for this project and make everything crossbrowser was not included (you know why). Now, should be a must.

What is next

  • Use Gulp instead of Grunt.
  • New repo structure with examples.
  • New lib structure.
  • New class constructor with more options (container support).
  • Responsive support (not more fix width).
  • Fonts support.
  • Add an Event emitter for commands.
  • Plugin system for events, commands and parsers.
  • More commands (Drag & Drop support).
  • Plugins (Markdown preview, doc stats, spellchecker, Dropbox + GDrive support).
  • Documentation.
  • Gecko support, finally.
