Jason Morris 2023-06-01 17:54:18 This is what has been preoccupying my mind this week. Using ProseMirror to build a WYSIWYG web editor prototype that is compliant with a subset of the LegalDocML OASIS standard. Wanted to get a better idea of the complexity. GPT4 was more useful than the docs, it turns out. GitHub.com/Lexpedite/lawmirror

It’s a combination of a universal text highlighter & blocks highlighter in our ‘infinite’ canvas app

Pawel Ceranka 2023-06-04 10:39:18 I’m not quite clear on the history here, but I think that the first time I’ve personally really registered an irregular / non-rectangular selection as a thing was in Audulus, couple of years ago
I would be curious to hear / see other examples!
Ivan Reese 2023-06-04 14:34:24 That's awesome. Love the video, love the feature, love wormies.
My first interaction with a freeform selection like this would have been the lasso tool in MacPaint. But this sort of "paint to select" is also something I've seen in 3d modelling software (eg: to select vertices), and games (eg: to select units in an RPG).
Pawel Ceranka 2023-06-04 19:08:33 I do like ‘paint to select’!
We have text highlighting that’s done in a very similar way (just a different colour of highlighter, so to speak ;))—it’s not strictly necessary of course as (normal) text is linear, but it feels nice 🙂
