To point out some of these SVGs are nicely animated and can be searched for.

I used them for my offline text editor, the result turned wonderful (icons wise)

https://wrifocus.bounded.cc

Which icon set is that? When I filter for „contains animations“, I only get 3 icon sets where 2 are loaders and one is weather icons.

  • line-md is the one. Plenty more than 3 animated.

    For size consistency, better stick to the same pack or you are on for SVG editing

The settings icon ‘sprouting’ cogs is really nice!

The editor also looks really nice. Could this not be used online as well? Persistence on the server instead of browser cache? (Curious what your use case is for an offline browser based editor?)

  • The use case is privacy. Data getting harvested by free and even paid for services isn't pleasant (targeted ads, data breach etc)

    If I get to add some "server" capability it will rather be webrtc, basically P2P to sync between devices, or a config to plug our own store. E.g GitHub, Google drive, dropbox or a self hosted service to SCP the files.

    It isn't just browser cached, one can export individual documents or the entire store as a zipped folder. And back that up.

Thanks for sharing -- looks very useful to me.

Can you share any other details about your project -- if it can be self hosted, etc.

  • I was hoping to open source it. Once I get to add some missing features and fix a few glitches.

    The purpose of self hosting isn't that useful as it's totally offline, everything goes to local storage and indexdb. It stays on the browser.

    But happy to share the repo if you would like to make it your own.

    • offline is even great!

      if you are able to share the repo - that's great - thanks!

      i am toying with an idea of having a very light weight "idea capture" solution so i can capture my raw ideas with least friction .. and then channel them into more organized projects / drafts / blogs etc later.

      experimenting with tools like obsidian+git, github.dev, wispr flow, etc as input and storage channels ... but a lightweight markdown style note editor woould probably be a useful addition. need to experiment to find out for sure though.
