Announcement: gist.io is dead #74

Closed nilbus closed 5 years ago

http://draft.sx http://draft.sx/<public_gist_id>

Thanks to @x3ro for putting this together!

@idan If you come back and start maintaining this project again, please close this issue. We'd welcome you back along with gist.io!

fuzzy76 commented 7 years ago

Should really have been on the frontpage of gist.io

fuzzy76 commented 6 years ago

And now draft.sx shut down :-/

x3ro commented 6 years ago

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm happy with giving away the domain name to someone who would like to host the project though, and help them set it up even.

nilbus commented 6 years ago

@x3ro Yes, let's talk! I'll follow up by email.

nilbus commented 6 years ago

FYI, I did not end up taking over the domain.

fuzzy76 commented 6 years ago

I was considering doing a pure javascript alternative which could be hosted on github pages. It would require me to find some free time during christmas. Can't promise anything though.

wimpunk commented 6 years ago

And now draft.sx is dead to.... Any other alternative?

fomightez commented 6 years ago

ALTERNATIVES @ wimpunk Only ones I know of that l running are:

Not as direct as writing the markdown in a gist is this idea that builds on using the Jupyter Notebook viewer to render gists... You could also write the whole markdown in a single cell in Jupyter notebook cell and then post that notebook as a gist, and then use the nbviewer webservice to render the notebook nicely. For developing the notebook, if you don't feel like setting up your system for Jupyter, you can just use the active ones launched from try.jupyter.org, and save the ephemeral notebook to your local computer when done.

(You can make the markdown text into slides (three dashes to mark separate slides), if you insert deck after gist in your gist url. Learn more here.)

If you happen to be using ascidoc, there is docgist

@fomightez Thanks!

sntran commented 6 years ago

I was working on something similar to this, and intend to pick it back up. I would like to see if I can take over the gist.io domain from @idan .

shinenelson commented 5 years ago

I'm up for this. @x3ro are you still open to this?

While I love the concepts behind gistdeck and roughdraft.io. I think we shouldn't let any project just die and wither away.

gistdeck is a presentation tool powered by Github Gists and roughdraft.io beautifies only Github-flavored markdown, Textile and HAML. What I'd like to see is something that could render any gist in proper syntax highlight.

@sntran, I'd like to collaborate with you if you're still up for this. @fuzzy76, Did you get some time last christmas to hack up a pure-Javascript implementation that we could host on Github Pages?

fuzzy76 commented 5 years ago

Sadly no. And even if I did, it would not support more than GFM. Cannot get roughdraft.io to load ATM though. Edit: works now.

x3ro commented 5 years ago

@shinenelson sure!

eyecatchup commented 5 years ago

@fuzzy76 Just stumbled upon your comment and liked the idea of a pure JS implementation to be hosted on GH pages. So I hacked together a few lines. Here's a working draft:

Code: https://github.com/eyecatchup/nicegist Demo: https://eyecatchup.github.io/nicegist/?id=dab5cf7977008e504213

For now, only supports markdown (not limited to GFM syntax though).

eyecatchup commented 5 years ago

I created an issue for feature requests: https://github.com/eyecatchup/nicegist/issues/2

Looking forward to suggestions.

eyecatchup commented 5 years ago

@fomightez Could you please update your comment? I moved the repo to an organisation account (for shorter URLs).

Code: https://github.com/nicegist/nicegist.github.io Demo: https://nicegist.github.io/3382937

Thanks!

Potherca commented 5 years ago

Well... whether temporary or not, this project seems to be alive again!

idan commented 5 years ago

Have a litte more time nowadays, and hacking on this after a loooong break :)

Potherca commented 5 years ago

Well, kind sir, I for one am very happy for it! 🎉 🎈

Also, you might now want to close this ticket 😀

Or almost all tickets as they pertain to the pre-react version :trollface:

nilbus commented 5 years ago

That’s great news!

I will close this because I can, though I agree, all the others should likely be closed too. :+1:
