A built in text editor idea for Kinopio

The idea here is, when you drop in a txt file, to have a simple way to edit it without having to download, open in a text editor, and then reupload to Kinopio.

Once the editor is built, you could probably have a way to create a txt file directly in Kinopio too.

I wouldn’t expect how txt files show today (maybe a preview of the first 300 characters though…). The idea is just being able to open the file in a little card-like window to edit and save.

Option 1: Link (No Preview)

Option 2: Link and Preview

End goal is to be able to do brainstorming and lightweight long from writing all in the same place.

Kinopio.txt

These are the first 300 characters in the below linked .txt (or .md) file as a preview. Kinopio.txt

Since there are a lot of connections and title cards that can get confusing above I took screenshots of exactly how I’d expect it to look / work in practice.

this is a preview of the editor being opened from a link—it does not stay open as a card or image in the space

Option 1: Link (No Preview)

This is just a screen shot of iA Writer. Visually, I would make the text editor look basically identical to a card, replacing the buttons in the top bar with the same buttons in a card.

Images, when uploaded through the flower button, should be formatted as markdown links to the location link Kinopio generates at upload: 

Style button allows you to format text, but just for headers, bold, italic—no frames, tags, colors in the editor.
