FocusedEdit

Just saw this linked somewhere else, looks very cool:


"FocusedEdit is a new text editor for classic Macintosh computers (running System 2 through MacOS 9.2.2) and the CoprocessorJS library that allows shared bidirectional text editing with a modern computer within a web browser window.

"FocusedEdit will allow you to easily work on text documents on a classic Macintosh and then instantly use them on your modern computer. For example, I’ve been typing up confluence documents, emails, slack messages, etc. for work on a Macintosh Quadra 700 and then pasting them out of the FocusedEdit website when I’m done typing them up. I even wrote and edited the markdown document that generated this blog post using FocusedEdit!
 
That is really cool! I wish I didn’t have to have a physical serial connection between the vintage and modern machines to use it, though. Would love to be able to do this over MacTCP.
