Prose · A Content Editor for #GitHub
▻http://prose.io/#about

Prose provides a beatifully simple content authoring environment for CMS-free websites. It’s a web-based interface for managing content on GitHub. Use it to create, edit, and delete files, and save your changes directly to GitHub. Host your website on GitHub Pages for free, or set up your own GitHub webhook server.

Prose has advanced support for #Jekyll sites and #markdown content. Prose detects markdown posts in Jekyll sites and provides syntax highlighting, a formatting toolbar, and draft previews in the site’s full layout.

Developers can configure Jekyll sites to take advantage of these and many more features that customize the content editing experience.

Github for Writers

For the past three years, I’ve used GitHub for hosting code projects, discovering bleeding edge tech, and collaborating with an engineering team. And it has been simply wonderful. In fact, it’s hard to imagine coding without GitHub. I rely on GitHub every single day.

However, despite how crucial GitHub is to the developer toolbox, I’m constantly wondering why the platform is limited to just code. It’s not a stretch to imagine the usefulness of a similar platform for non-developers - authors, teachers, students - though as much as I search, I can’t seem to find one. So I’m building it myself. I’m building a GitHub for everyone else.

Ça fait trois ans que j’ai le projet de faire quelque chose comme ça dans ma pile « To Do Some Day ». Comme d’habitude avec Internet, la façon la plus efficace de développer une bonne idée est d’attendre que quelqu’un d’autre le fasse :)
