It'd be great to get code blocks and inline code blocks. Ideally using Markdown syntax. And, if possible to get syntax highlighting, that'd be even better.
But otherwise, this pretty well lines up with an idea that I had just been mulling over in the last 2 days. Which is pretty eery, but well timed. Realistically I wasn't ever going to do it, so I'm glad I may not have to miss out.
Still playing around with it but I have to say, I absolutely adore the side-scrolling feature!
The Make with Leaflet page is good dive into some possibilities https://make.leaflet.pub/
I see its source available, which implies you’re planning on monetizing somehow, do you mind sharing any insight into what that would look like?
I’m always weary of getting involved in a new tool only for the rug pull to happen later.
I do love it when someone does an original take on what a "document" means. I love the intellectual exploration of it. Kudos, genuinely.
I love this a lot. I have spent a great deal of time considering digital document writing. The hybrid of document and canvas is a must and is commonly found in PKMs now (obsidian, logseq, affine). Collaboration features are also a must imo, but not often found due to it being difficult to implement and scale.
Looking forward to tracking this project! Is there a community one could join to get updates?
Some feedback:
– When tapping on the leaflet icon in the bottom left, the whole text area is erased (Safari on iPad).
– The strikethrough icon is a bit hard to recognize, because the stroke merges with the S line. Some text editors use a different letter for that reason, for example a T, and add a small gap along both sides of the stroke to emphasize the overlay (only on the icon, not on the actual text being edited).
– Making the strikethrough line lighter than the text color is a bit unconventional, I’m not sure it helps readability. In the default text size, the line is easy to overlook, also because it is pretty thin (on a hi-DPI display). This is particularly the case on bold and/or italic text.
– No dark mode support, it seems.
Kudos for the multiple ProseMirror instances. I'm building with ProseMirror myself and that's some nice wizardry I haven't thought of.
I can't seem to scroll horizontally very easily, like I have to middle click drag in empty space, is there any reason you are hiding scrollbars?
That's very impressive, super slick. The subpage preview on the parent page works so well I went digging into the source code.
Guys, this is super cool. As someone building a canvas product that also has a (prosemirror) notepad I am super inspired by this. The way you can flick from a canvas on the notepad, back to the notepad, and it doesn't feel like you're locked in to any block because you can still slightly see where you came from.. love it.
All the best!
Nice, I really like it. The embedded elements like POSTS and RSVPs creates a nice shared space feel to it.
Also interesting to see that you chose WhatsApp for the RSVP element. Did you use Twilio for the integration and what was the level of effort needed?
Is it supposed to be a permanent published document? I couldn't find a delete/unpublish option. I guess retaining the first randomly generated URL can be used to delete the content, but still there is no clear way to delete, unpublish.
It seems an advanced version of https://txt.fyi. The balance between simplicity and experience is great. I hope you can continue with the project
The appearance (both the text font and the UI chrome icons and colors) really is not to my liking. I see that you can already change the foreground and background color of your document. Any plans to add more options?
Are the documents encrypted? Is privacy a focus? One major reason that people want to move away from Google Docs and Notion is because of their very invasive privacy policies.
I really love the ui exploration!
I wish canvases had edges connecting nodes
This website is fantastic! I love the layout!
i thought it would be some kind of competitor to canva but not at all, the product is interesting and original, i'll definitely follow it!
my only nitpick at this moment: i like to see my scrollbars on a desktop
Well done. Intuitive and simple like this sort of tool should be.
it is using Replicache which requires license key. is there a plan to use an alternative that doesn't require license key?
I like how it looks :)
Is there a tutorial for how to self-host it?
This is really great -- Thanks for making it.
I like the icons.
Can you edit a button after adding it?
This is what notion should have been.
This is fantastic. Good job. Makes you realise how much clutter is out there (SaaS nonsense, ads, paywalls, bullshit).
Loading the landing page was a breathe of fresh air. Thank you.
very beautiful and I appreciate how well everything works without logging in
Very nice work!
Just as an FYI: "leaflet" is the name of a popular web mapping JS library. https://leafletjs.com/
May or may not be relevant for you (and is definitely a very different field/product), but if you're releasing client libraries/SDKs of any sort, it might be good to be aware of. There's a large ecosystem of plugin libraries named "leaflet-foo" or "foo-leaflet" etc in addition to the "main" one. If you start releasing any libraries to work with your app (even if they're not JS), you'll likely want to be aware of and work around naming collisions for library names.
Either way, looks nifty!! I love the approach and we need more people willing to do something like this that competes with google docs / etc, but does so by targeting a specific use case / niche / etc and not by trying to do everything.
