Those terms are for the site, not for the text editor. :-) I might open source the editor when I have time.

Not yet. I might do that later, but it requires some cleanup work. The code has three parts: Markdown to HTML text, HTML DOM to Markdown, and the editor. The total size is about 30…

Wow, that's fun. No wonder few applications use "/" for hotkey combination. Maybe I should use a different key, say, ".".

Yes, its HTML editing is pretty basic. I did not intend to make a full-blown HTML editor. There are already many ones. My goal is to make Markdown and HTML editors working together…

Yes it follows CommonMark, but is stricter for safety consideration (e.g. does not allow scripts).

It does not force you to use mouse click on GUI elements. You can use `⌘`+`/` (or `Alt`+`/` on Windows) to switch between WYSIWYG/Markdown modes. Actually it's the preferred way un…

I believe OP means a WYSIWYG editor is much better than Markdown. In terms of a markup language in pure text, I think Markdown is your best bet. Folks in CommonMark.org tries to "s…

Didn't you use existing rich text editors like TinyMCE or CKEditor?

At least you must be careful when using multiple Facebook accounts from the same computer. It might cause your main Facebook account locked, and take you a while to have Facebook u…

Forum anonymity (or more precisely, disposable account) is the source of moderation pain and the reason of suboptimal forum content quality. It's one of the main issues I want to a…

Exactly. That's why we did not use Google identity service. Google accounts are disposable, while Facebook enforces one-account-per-person policy.

Maybe you are right. But Reddit uses Markdown, too, and people seem OK with that? Most redditors are not developers.

You can use a verified Facebook account to join Twincl site for free. Ideally, we should use our own SMS verification process to prevent disposable accounts - maybe when we have mo…

> 2. Static compilation. This makes a massive difference over Python in terms of catching and correcting problems at compile time vs run time. Correct. When comparing a static prog…

Bingo. With `regex!(r"[a-zA-Z0-9_]+")`, Rust finally runs faster than Nim. I’ve updated the article.

Yes, I think Nim deserves more attention, and that’s part of the reason I wrote this article.

Good point! I’ve updated the article accordingly. I learned the Entry thing a few months ago, but Rust’s BTreeMap did not support the entry API at that time, so my code did not use…
