Comment on Prose, a content editor for GitHub

Comments

Prose.io is a completely client side editor that authenticates against github to allow you to directly edit your markdown files in the repo.

It has a tiny tiny server-side component that exists only to complete the oauth handshake (for the remote server to have something to call back to), called gate keeper.

It's completely open source and self-hostable. They also make a webhook so you can trigger rebuilding on your own server.

They built it to be able to replace their need on a traditional CMS when they switched from Drupal to Node.JS many years ago.

DevelopmentSeed was the company that eventually spun off into MapBox.com, the open source open data map tile hosted service.

They have a long history with the open source community, and are spearheading a lot of the open source mapping stack by employing the lead developers of mapnik, leaflet and much more.

Other than Mapbox.com and Prose.io they also built :

TileMill - https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/ - An node-webkit based map designer

Id - http://ideditor.com/ - The OpenStreetMap editing interface

(disclaimer: I used to work for them, and left around the time they spun off into mapbox)
