Personally, I think cross-platform support is more enticing at this stage. Especially since you could just drop the whole collection directory into a git-tracked folder, and have half of those features.

Also, how do you feel about others (i.e. me) making Collate-compatible software? Like, I'm really tempted to make a web-app for viewing/editing, or even just a vim/VScode plugin for that interface-integration.

Like I said, I'm really enthusiastic about the file format!

Cross platform support works right now but could probably get better. In terms of mobile support, that's a huge project that I would have to invest significant time into, so I'm holding off for now. It's definitely one of those things I want to do in the future for sure.

I would be absolutely flattered and would support any Collate-compatible software. The file format itself is open and MIT licensed and any contributions and discussions would be welcome!

I put a lot of thought into the file format and I'm really glad you're excited about it! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about the format or if anything is unclear at [email protected].
