# WebWriter | ||

iA Writer ported to Javascript. (Webkit only) | ||
> [iA Writer for Mac](http://www.iawriter.com/mac) ported to Javascript for WebKit. | ||
# Based on | ||
## Philosophy behind this project | ||

WebWriter was an experiment to port [iA Writer for Mac](http://www.iawriter.com/mac) without any Javascript Framework. | ||
|
||
## Goals (2 years ago) | ||
|
||
* Avoid Javascript Frameworks such jQuery or Mootools (Make everything from scratch). | ||
* Avoid ContentEditable (Emulate every key event with a hidden textarea). | ||
* Avoid native cursor (The key of the project [document.caretRangeFromPoint](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/document.caretPositionFromPoint)) | ||
* Avoid Javascript animations and use CSS3 animations (Check the cursor animation). | ||
* Avoid render the full content with Markdown (Only parsing the affected lines). | ||
|
||
## Why Webkit? | ||
|
||
I had other goals for this project and make everything crossbrowser was not included (you know why). Now, should be a must. | ||
|
||
## What is next | ||
|
||
* Use [Gulp](http://gulpjs.com/) instead of [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/). | ||
* New repo structure with examples. | ||
* New lib structure. | ||
* New class constructor with more options (container support). | ||
* Responsive support (not more fix width). | ||
* Fonts support. | ||
* Add an Event emitter for commands. | ||
* Plugin system for events, commands and parsers. | ||
* More commands (Drag & Drop support). | ||
* Plugins (Markdown preview, doc stats, spellchecker, Dropbox + GDrive support). | ||
* Documentation. | ||
* Gecko support, finally. | ||
