Textorama is a web editor that works with plain text files in your local system

2 pointsby joaomeloplusover 2 years ago
I&#x27;ve been interested in two interlinked technologies for some time. The first is Progressive Web Apps (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.dev&#x2F;progressive-web-apps) which lets the websites behave more like native apps, and the second is the File System API (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;API&#x2F;File_System_Access_API) which enables browsers to access the local file system.<p>I decided to go a little more deeply into them, and tonight, I uploaded a repository (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;joaomelo&#x2F;textorama) with an open-source project I&#x27;ve been working on nights and weekends for the last few weeks.<p>Textorama is a web editor that works with plain text files in your local system. The content is in your disk in a universal open format, and the browser ensures the editor only accesses the files you permit.<p>There is a working instance available here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;textorama.online.
