Offline post editor. Specifically for Gamer.ru.

Cuis testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum.

Continuing the topic I touched on earlier, I am eager to introduce you to the offline post editor I developed for Gamer.ru. In my opinion, it has all the necessary functionality for writing posts (except, of course, image uploads). There is even a preview function for what has been written (the right field in the center).

Download it here.

To run it, you need to download the Java Runtime Environment if you don’t have it installed (or update if you do have it, but it’s old). Then simply run the JAR file (it should automatically associate itself with the required program during installation).

You can save the written text (as .txt) as well as the preview (as .html, in case you want to view it in a browser). You can download the Gamer.ru style stylesheet for these preview files here. The files are saved to the program folder; the styles, accordingly, should be placed there as well (drag along with the HTML preview, in general).

*Note on saving: the program does not ask for confirmation to overwrite; it immediately overwrites the existing file.*

Hotkey support has been added. All combinations can be found in the tooltips for the buttons (if a button has a combination assigned, it is written in the tooltip) and in the menu. Only three standard combinations are not specified - Ctrl+X (cut), Ctrl+C (copy), Ctrl+V (paste).

A right-click context menu has also been added in the text field.

*A couple of notes on preview:*

  • Spoiler text in preview is displayed simply in green.
  • Text following “Spoiler:” is not processed.
  • Videos are processed (provided that the embedding HTML code is added), but viewing is only possible from the browser.

There may be some errors, as I tested it myself. Feel free to leave comments. Yes, I repeat, I am not a programmer. :)

Version 2.0 is planned, which will implement the processing of Word files (i.e., text highlighted in bold will be framed with tags. But that's not coming soon.

P.S.: This post was written in the editor. ;)
