thruflo

thruflo is a document authoring system. It's still in early, alpha development probably won't work yet if you try to use it.

Problem

  • copying and pasting is inefficient
  • formating is inefficient and introduces brand inconsistencies
  • collaboration by email / locking is limited

Solution

  • write using markdown
  • format using stylesheets
  • reuse sections of previous documents

Implementation

  • web UI as editor
  • don't think just type
  • output
    • documents
    • presentations
    • webpages
    • slideshows
    • emailshots
    • to print
  • formats:
    • pdf
    • html

Reuse

  • use markdown headings to demarcate sections
  • sections stored using <!-- section:${path} --> comment syntax
  • path is human readable, corresponding to ./path/fo/file.md#heading (so it's manually editable by advanced users)
  • section data is denormalised, with the locally cached (i.e.: in the file) version used if the section path fails to resolve

foo.md:

# Foo

## Intro

Lorum ipsum.

## Outro

Dolores dulcit.

bar.md:

# Bar

<!-- section:foo.md#intro -->

## Intro

Lorum ipsum.

<!-- end section -->

## Outro

Glug glug.

Unpinning

  • in the web UI, re-used sections are visually demarcated using bespin syntax highlighting
  • the heading is not editable
  • editing the content saves the original document
  • "unpin" to edit without saving the original (or to edit the heading)
  • this removes the wrapper and just edits the new document directly
