Should really have been on the frontpage of gist.io
from gistio.
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.

@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).
from gistio.
And now draft.sx is dead to.... Any other alternative?
from gistio.
ALTERNATIVES
@ wimpunk Only ones I know of that l running are:
-
nicegist - @eyecatchup describes making this on March 11, 2019 below. Usage can be found at https://nicegist.github.io/ . Briefly, append
nicegist.github.io/
in front of the gist id. -
roughdraft.io - WORKING OR NOT?? (@fuzzy76 reported intermittent problems in July 2019 and in March 2019, it seems to be failing again.)
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
from gistio.
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.
from gistio.
@shinenelson sure!

@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!
from gistio.
Well... whether temporary or not, this project seems to be alive again!
from gistio.
from gistio.
And now draft.sx shut down :-/
from gistio.
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.
from gistio.
@x3ro Yes, let's talk! I'll follow up by email.
from gistio.
FYI, I did not end up taking over the domain.
from gistio.
@fomightez Thanks!
from gistio.
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 .
from gistio.
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?
from gistio.
I created an issue for feature requests: eyecatchup/nicegist#2
Looking forward to suggestions.
from gistio.
Well, kind sir, I for one am very happy for it! π π
Also, you might now want to close this ticket π
Or almost all tickets as they pertain to the pre-react version
from gistio.
Thatβs great news!
I will close this because I can, though I agree, all the others should likely be closed too. π
