From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm bored and want to practice my Rust skills. I am the creator of open-tv. If you have any idea for a linux desktop app, even if it seems quite complex, I will take it.

Do you know what really doesn't exist?

A pure, HTML only, WYSIWYG text editor. Every text editor out there is either XML, JSON or Markdown based. HTML is the most widely adopted standard ever and is the best for storing content long term. People could write CSS themes, you could even add paged media support.

NVU, Dreamweaver were tried to be like this. Only thing that wysiwyg'ing HTML isn't that easy as one might think, especially nowadays where thousands of web css frameworks exists and every structuring is done via divs.

You could make your own framework, or select/import one you like, but then the app will have way too much parameter, which needs to be configured by the user. It would be a really neat power tool, though.

ps.: Funny thing I was just thinking about wysiwyg editors in the recent days 😅

Nono. It's just a Writer. Like, Word, or Google Docs. It's easy to do. Like all those Markdown editors, but HTML. For notes, book writing, etc.
