Chris EidhofWe are rewriting Thinking in SwiftUI almost from the ground up. This time around, we're using Dropbox Paper(!) for writing, and it's surprisingly awesome. It's a very minimal uncluttered UI (feels a bit like a simple Markdown editor) but does have inline comments/discussions. I love writing in vim, but for collaboration, this is much nicer.
Joachim Bondo@chris This is excellent news. And the perfect way for me to start moving to SwiftUI!
Christian Tietze@chris Whoah! Never heard anyone else use this. How'd you land on that instead of, say, GDocs?
@ctietze we saw a demo of this years ago (I think possible even before it was public). It's really nice.
@chris Still I'm somewhat sad that you're then probably not working on a collaborative Markdown editor for book writing :)
So far nobody volunteered https://mastodon.social/@heckj/109894765951299280
@ctietze this is my dream project but it's not something to just do on the side. We're so busy with our existing projects that we'd only do a half-assed job and then wouldn't be able to support it the way we do. If we ever stop doing @objcio then who knows, but until now, it's way too much fun teaching people :).
Michał Kasprzyk@chris any idea when it might be available?
Tomáš Slíž@chris I was surprised to hear that the people from @pointfreeco are using Dropbox Paper too. I had never heard of it before, but it looks great! People around me are also using #Craft (https://www.craft.do), which also feels great.
Point-Free
DanMitu@chris I’m excited. Thinking in SwiftUI is probably my favorite technical iOS books. Will definitely read it again.
