• Show HN: A note-keeping system on top of Fossil SCM

  I used a note system built on top of Fossil as my primary system for quite a while. Here are the details in case anyone is interested. Fossil allows CGI extensions[1]. There's a database for tickets, but that's just a regular SQLite table that you can use to store anything you want, and it's version controlled and queryable. I stored the notes plus metadata in the tickets database. The CGI returned HTML with the... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Writing a (simple) code editor for the web?

  Hey there! Thanks for reaching out. Writing a code editor with syntax highlighting in a browser can be a little tricky, but it's definitely doable. One resource that might be helpful is the Ace Editor library (https://ace.c9.io/). It's a lightweight but powerful editor that includes syntax highlighting for a huge range of languages. You could also check out CodeMirror (https://codemirror.net/), which is another... Source: about 1 year ago

• The ShnooTalk programming language

  The frontend uses the ace editor for syntax highlighting and then sends all the "text" you have typed to a python backend. The backend then writes all the text to a temporary directory and calls the compiler using subprocess (something similar to os.system). Source: over 1 year ago

• MDSlides - Simple markdown presentation tool

  It is built using Reveal.js and Ace, and is a simple markdown presentation tool right in the browser. Source: over 1 year ago

• Running Vim Text Editor in the Browser with WebAssembly

  This would cool to use as an embedded editor browser plugin. Surfingkeys' quirky vim emualation editor, Ace, could be replaced. For example. I think there are other plugins that emulate vim or remotely use neovim, but this approach would be so much better. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I created a chrome extension for enabling relative line numbering in Overleaf

  It turns out that Overleaf uses the open-source Ace editor, which actually has an option for relative line numbering, but toggling it is not possible in the Overleaf UI. However, it can be enabled from the browser console by running these lines of code. Source: almost 2 years ago

• massCode 2.0 is out - A free and open source code snippets manager for developers

  A snippet manager must not only provide organization of snippets but also have a good code editor. That's why under the hood of massCode there's Ace. Ace is a high performance code editor which supports syntax highlighting for over 170 languages. We also added a Prettier to code formatter. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How many of you use SQL for your day to day jobs?

  I'm a data analyst, and my company uses an analytics platform called Mode, which is entirely browser-based. The Mode SQL editor does syntax highlighting, code formatting and has as-you-type suggestions/auto-complete. I recently learnerd that Mode's SQL editor is an embeddable code editor called Ace that is written in JS. Source: about 2 years ago

• How to create real-time hyperlinks in user-inputted text?

  Https://ace.c9.io/ I think they have a GitHub page too. Source: over 2 years ago

• How do online IDEs take interactive user input for programs?

  One way to do it is to use an iFrame as a text input, ideally with some sort of in-browser IDE tool like codemirror or Ace. Source: over 2 years ago

• Creating(or importing) a Code Sandbox or an online IDE to be used in a Django website.

  You can use https://ace.c9.io/ (or https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-ace if you are using react) to write the code. Source: over 2 years ago

• Need some ideas while working on a web-app that is a code editor

  I have used this one before https://ace.c9.io/. Source: over 2 years ago

• RStudio on iPad Pro -- perennial topic...

  Why? What's wrong with connecting through a browser? R Studio is a browser-based app anyway, both the editor and console panes are Ace editors. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Go Virtual Filesystem Project--Adding in a Text Editor

  So instead of that, I opted to make a text editor that opened up in the browser using the Ace editor JS library (this thing -> here). Source: about 3 years ago

• Syntax highlighting for R docs

  Yup the dependency on V8 is certainly not perfect, but using Javascript allows me to reuse the syntax highlighter from Ace editor, the same one that RStudio uses so that it integrates nicely with RStudio (same syntax, theme, color scheme...) plus I don't have to reimplement a syntax highlighter. Might be a bit heavy but makes for a straightforward implementation. And during everyday usage I haven't experience any... Source: about 3 years ago

• The Origin Creator - A visual tool for creating custom datapacks

  By the way, if anyone is familiar with making syntax highlighters for the Ace code editor (or knows anyone who is), I'd love to have some help with adding in mcfunction syntax highlighting and checking to functions made with the tool; I just can't wrap my brain fully around how to implement one into Ace (not to mention it would be very complex, and it would need to be version-agnostic). This would make function... Source: about 3 years ago
