This... Plus Gmail... Man that's fantastic. I have sent an embarrassing number of emails that end with :wq. Once you try Vim, it's really hard to go back. I also tried using mutt instead of GMail, and while it gets me 90% of the way there, the lack of graphical preview of attachments and things like filters and HelloSign make GMails web interface more useful.
I use "It's all text!" in Firefox for this purpose and it works well; the workflow is pretty simple: focus in textarea, hotkey to switch to vim, save & close buffer to switch back to the browser. (not affiliated, just a user).
You do of course lose rich text formatting.

That would be Atwood's Law: any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/07/the-principle-of-le... And tlrobinson's Law (or corollary?): Any submission to Hacker News about a novel JavaScript program will contain a comment referencing Atwood's Law. https://twitter.com/tlrobinson/status/395636386671235072

so... what exactly am i supposed to do with no file system?
Not really sure how it all works, I only took a quick look.

Too slow for me on FF.

There are browser plugins that let you edit elements in your $EDITOR.

Well, I don't know what you mean by slow, but it could be the use of setTimeout() every 10ms to simulate[1] Vim's synchronous busy-wait is affecting responsiveness. Lu mentioned[2] on vim_dev that it was necessary to write a hack for this portion. [1] https://github.com/coolwanglu/vim.js/blob/master/web/vim_lib...

Yeah, I hit this same road-block when trying to port vim to JS and gave up because it didn't seem worth it after that. If only vim ran a regular event loop, it would have been such an easy port, compared to what they had to do here. When figuring out how I could overcome it, I remember reading accounts of KDE developers trying to embed vim into their widgets and failing over and over. In the end, there was a solution…

Done. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-fr/Ejacs Ejacs is an Ecma-262 compliant JavaScript interpreter written entirely in Emacs Lisp. It should work in GNU Emacs versions 22 and higher.
What about emacs in Linux in JavaScript? :-) http://bellard.org/jslinux/
Can anyone think of a sane way to make this integrate with github?
