The one thing I believe that all collaborative editors need is accountability for edits. It would be great if you can build a simple sign-in and track all operations based on which user is committing them.

For me to trust it enough to use it, I either need to be able to install it to my own server or want to pay for it. You should really add a minimal homepage with an email signup as well if you intend to work on this more. The product is se…
Thanks, we've built it for ourselves and wanted to see if anyone else would be interested first. Would happily add accounts and charge a small subscription fee for it. How many dollars per month would it be worth to you?)

Any JS frameworks? Are you using Etherpad Lite?
curl -O http://enterprisewiki.co/bin/app.min.js uglify -b | vim - Looks like they're using Showdown for Markdown functionality, sharejs for concurrent editing, node-browserchannel for async communication... Or, maybe Closure's BrowserChannel? I would love to see an end-to-end "here's how we built this" blog post for this kind of project. Very nicely done!
Because of this, I found it worthwhile to burn 1-2 hours to de-minify his Javascript, which mostly required figuring out what all his inlined JS libs are.

I think we all would like non-clean and open source, compared to nothing :)
Absolutely agree. Other users might even help clean it up and expand it.

It's a hosted service, we have no plans for a downloadable version for now.

#60Very cool! I was a bit frustrated by not being able to select text when in "view" mode (text selection worked fine in markdown mode - using latest version of Chrome on a mac). Is this a side effect of the iOS shortcuts?
ha, thanks for spotting that bug, yeah its the gesture library causing issues ... fixed now.
