What is Vault?

Vault is a markdown editor on the web with collaborative features built in. Simply invite a user, or become friends for quick access sharing.

This is a personal project of mine, you probably shouldnt put any confidential information into your documents, or critical information that needs to persist as I may wipe the database occasionally.

Expect weird bugs.

The editor

The editor comes with 4 modes:

• Source: edit in raw markdown format
• Live: live preview mode, only selected blocks show markdown code, everything else is rendered
• Split: side-by-side view of the markdown and full final render
• Preview: full preview of rendered document, read only

Rendering HTML

Just like any other markdown editor, we can also use most HTML elements, for example you can use the span element to make your text red!
In live mode, the elements will render after you exit their respective in-line or block area with your cursor.

Note: iframes (only a select few are accepted), CSS attributes like url() and javascript are disabled for safety reasons.

Friends

In the friends page, you can search for users by their nickname, username, or email, and send them a friend request.

When in the editor, you should notice that you can quickly share your document for viewing or editing with a friend in the sharing section.

Auth and Signing in

For now, only GitHub and Google authentication is supported. If you wish to link an account you created using one authenticator to another authenticator, simple go to settings and link that new authenticator. The next time you sign in, you should be able to use any linked authenticator to log into your account.

Future work

• Multiple document tabs and clean tab navigation.
• Dedicated public document browser with search engine.
• Implement CSS Snippet capability to allow custom styling.
• Fix HTML element rendering.
• Better encryption of documents...
• Data backup system.
• Introduce iframe rendering as safely as possible.
• Extensions (sticker extension ---->)
• Upload and use your own images/assets

(Right now you can add images (in all of its usual forms other than .svgs), and pdfs... cause why not)

Known Bugs

• Page refresh sometimes duplicates document content
