Show HN: Collaborative text editing with unobtrusive markdown and code highlighting (bluedocs.io) 25 points by c0da 10y ago ↗ HN
[–] fiatjaf 10y ago ↗ What is the stack? [–] c0da 10y ago ↗ It's almost pure front-end using Firebase + Firepad (https://firepad.io/). The editor uses CodeMirror (http://codemirror.net/) and custom highlighting rules. The backend (what little of it exists) is in Flask :)

[–] reitanqild 10y ago ↗ Why markdown everywhere, don't we have better markup languages? [–] rspeer 10y ago ↗ Really? What are they?Markdown seems perfect for this case where the markup is the rendered content. [–] detaro 10y ago ↗ Do we? Recently looked into that and it didn't seem like there is something clear-cut superior, sadly... [–] reitanqild 10y ago ↗ Asciidoc seems superior to me at least.IIRC Dokuwiki wasn't too bad either.Standard Markdown used to lack some important constructs, again IIRC.

[–] rspeer 10y ago ↗ Add an easy way to link to other pages without having to type the full URL, and you've got a radical improvement on a wiki.Perhaps you could use double-bracket links like GitHub wikis use, so this would be a [[ubpdk|link to another document]].
[–] malloryerik 10y ago ↗ Very cool, but what's the issue with mobile? I use Swype and it only inputs the first letter of each word.
