A trademark guide for free culture.

What it does

The Collaborative Mark project aims to provide information about why open source and free culture communities may consider trademarks and how they can use them. The project includes a Collaborative Mark Policy and other trademark hacks that collaborative communities can adapt to protect their name and logo. Collaborative communities, like Linux and Wikimedia, are built on the principle that information should be shared and remixed. Some of their work has widely recognized names and logos. But if communities try to legally protect their names and logos, they face a challenge: trademark law requires some degree of restriction (or "quality control"), whereas communities expect their work to be…from collabmark.org

  • An open-source, collaborative, WYSIWYG Markdown editor2023 · editor.vrite.io · ▲460

    Inspired by the design and UI/UX of apps like Notion, and utility of open-source apps like StackEdit, I decided to create a minimalistic, local-only WYSIWYG Markdown editor. Some features worth highlighting: - Monaco editor and Prettier integration for code snippets - Tables (apparently the holy grail of WYSIWYG editing) - Embeds (for CodePen, CodeSandbox and YouTube, most useful for HTML or JSON exports) - Accepts Markdown paste-in, and "exports"/generates HTML, Markdown and JSON outputs - Collaboration (with real-time awareness and initial commenting system, available only when…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
