Ability to preview post before publishing

xRahul commented 8 years ago

As posting here is just creating new md files, can you tell what kind of preview do you have in mind?

huytd commented 8 years ago

During the writing, user must want to see the preview of his work, I think we can create a small web app inside this project to provide user a web page that generate the HTML from Markdown file he is working on.

Just like the Live preview in some editor :D

Like on stackoverflow/github etc? I think that's doable. I can work on it.. give me some time to check out the relevant packages

huytd commented 8 years ago

OK :D I think we can use Express to create a mini webserver, then use the generate function in generator.js to take the .md file, convert it to HTML data and serve with Express.

Actually, I have something like this in mind- https://github.com/evilstreak/markdown-js

We already have the markdown converter library here https://github.com/huytd/azeroth-js/blob/master/js/marked.js

Cool.. we can create a page for writing markdown using that itself then. How about a page which helps create a md file for the post?
