WebEdit

Do you run a server? Do you use SSH or some other CLI to manage it?

Have you ever tried to edit a file over SSH, but a bad connection means nano/vim/vi LAGS OUT and its excruciating.

Say goodbye to editing files with SSH & Nano/Vim/Vi; Say hello to WebEdit!

WebEdit is a HTML5 text editor, that you run on your server. You'll see how it works.

Its like, python -m http.server and a text editor had a baby, and their baby grew new limbs.

Installation...

Firstly clone the repo git clone https://github.com/pry0cc/WebEdit.git

Secondly install any pre-requisites bundle install

Thirdly actually install it! sudo ./install.sh

Usage

webedit file.txt

This command will generate a unique link, that you can use to edit the file. It will start up a webserver, let you edit the file, save it, and then when you close webedit, the webserver shuts down.

Screenshots

Editing Vagrant File Syntax selection is fancy!

Mentions

Ace.JS for the editor frontend, Sinatra for as the base, Keypress for shortcuts.
