Rover Editor

Rover is a prototype of a simple HTML5 based text editor that supports Markdown syntax highlighting and uses Dropbox for storage.

It is the first web based editor to support real-time Markdown highlighting and work in all browsers (including iPhone, iPad and all Webkit mobile).

It was inspired by Mou, created by Chen Luo.

Features

• No dependencies or server-side requirements. Can be hosted on any hosting platform (even Dropbox public storage).

• Supports user stylesheets (stored in your Dropbox) for customizing the look and feel of the editor.

Demo

Please visit rover.konstruktors.com and authorise with your Dropbox account to try it out.

Rover Uses

• highlight.js on GitHub by Ivan Sagalaev for syntax highlighting.

  I have modified the library to remove syntax detection, in order to improve performance (it reformats content on every keydown).

• dropbox-js by Dropbox for synchronisation with Dropbox.
