dokieli
dokieli is a clientside editor for decentralised article publishing, annotations, and social interactions.
It is built with the following principles in mind: freedom of expression, decentralisation, interoperability, and accessibility. There is no root, authority, or centralisation here. Control yourself!
Welcome! Check out the:
Use
dokieli can be used as a:

Setup
Clone your work repository, for example:
git clone git@github.com:YOUR-USERNAME/dokieli
cd dokieli
Install packages:
yarn
Make your code updates at src/
, media/
etc.
Build eg. to create scripts/dokieli.js

or automatically rebuild when files change:
yarn watch
or create a minified scripts/dokieli.js
:
yarn minify
To serve static files, you can use any HTTP server, e.g.:

Features
- In-browser document authoring and formatting, and semantic enrichments (RDFa annotations).
- Content negotiation is possible for RDFa, Turtle, JSON-LD, RDF/XML.
- Uses author's information from their online profile (WebID).
- Creation of new documents from any existing dokieli document - part of self-replication.
- Save document and its dependencies to a new location (anywhere on the Web given access) - part of self-replication.
- Open and edit URLs containing HTML.
- Individually assign the language of articles and annotations and parts within.
- Assignment of URI fragments (to any unit of significance) so that other resources on the Web can link to it.
- Implements versioning and has the notion of immutable resources.
- Embedding data blocks, e.g., Turtle, N-Triples, JSON-LD, TriG (Nanopublications).
- Embedding of media objects, tables, and interactions.
- Graph visualisation of linked data.
- Import GPX and extension data and view tracks on map.
- Automated references and citations (retrieves and reuses structured information).
- Insertion of table of contents, figures, tables, abbreviations.
- Drag and drop to reorganize the document's sections and table of contents.
- In-browser local storage, and document exporting.
- Message log.
- Document metadata.
- Views for screen and print (e.g., ACM, LNCS) - yes, you can output to a paper user interface: PDF
- .. and many more on the way.
Let's make it so together! You are welcome to create issues, discuss, or pull requests.
