Fantastic app - thanks for making sure the backend remains in support / keeping the plumbing healthy. Not sure if useful, but pandoc may be worth looking at for document conversion, if it’s not already on your list.
Thanks a lot! Yeah, I'm a big fan of pandoc, and did test the command option against pandoc during development, but it's a little more awkward to document/use here since the security scenario and options really depends on the underlying rendering engines available to pandoc, so we're more likely to document the underlying engine directly instead.
Unfortunatley bookstack is so barebone and from seeing the changes over the last years, hasn't changed much... It is just extremely lacking.. I'm totally not interested to know about every single version this or that or framework this or that.. It is it usability that matters... But it is free I get that.. So I guess it is not for me...
I'm sorry to hear that. BookStack is a 9 year old project at this point and the focus is very much on stability, compatibility and maintainability over new features, and we take a slow and steady approach to updates to support that. Each update may only bring a little, bit it adds up over time. I was disappointed I didn't have much to show in this video, hence my apology in the video, but sometimes we do have to focus on the more boring maintenance elements, plus my productivity has lowered recently due to dealing with worsening arthritis. Ultimately, if you feel the platform is extremely lacking as-is, then yeah, I'd agree that it's not for you.
@@BookStackApp FWIW, I absolutely LOVE Bookstack and find it to be better (and more usable) than just about everything else I've tried (including quite a few commercial offerings). Every now and then you hit a limitation, but, for me the benefits outweigh those. I personally also do like the mini-dives you do into the project and explanations for design choices are super interesting ... can't please everyone 😕
Thanks again for rhis awesome piece of software, I'm very happy that I found it. Watched every video since I've started using it.
Thank you for this update! 😊
Hello Dan, I just discovered your tools, seems amazing. Thank you for all your work :)

Yessa!!
Please Please add more options to the wysiwug editor, like font sizes etc :)
That's probably not something we'd look to add any-time soon I'm afraid.
