Hello everyone,
I want to show you Epiphany, a notion-inspired editor.

This is my impulse build. I wanted to start a blog. Having used so many blogging platforms, I’m tired of migrating and losing content. I want to own my data and version control them. Although there are static site generators, I don’t think working on raw markdown files is a good writing experience. I, therefore, wanted to have a nice editor that has a focus on technical writing (good support for equations and references) and saves plain text files (I’m using the djot format) with a built-in static site generator.
I want to thank @marijn for all the timely answers to my questions. And also the BlockNote project ( https://github.com/YousefED/BlockNote) from which I learned a lot.
The workload of building this has grown way more than I estimated. I’m now exhausted. The current release contains a ton of bugs and is only barely usable. But I want to get the first version out. I have created so many abandoned projects, I hope this won’t become one of them. I will force myself to keep using it and improving it.
Some future directions to pursue include
- static site generator (not done in the current version)
- AI assistant using ChatGPT
- built-in version control and collaboration
