Stay tuned!

Who said you can't write your own rich text editor from scratch in #JavaFx. I made it for my side project. Now it will be even easier for others, because JavaFx24 already has an experimental component that handles this.

It took me several months (after day job) to create the first version. It is not a WebView or RichTextFx, I had to take care of everything from the scratch (how the caret should blink, how to navigate between characters using the keyboard, how the undo/redo action should be implemented). Even though it was almost a year ago, this is the part of my project that I am most proud of.

It may still have some issues, but you can check out how it works at keepmark.io/.

#JabRef got a new cool new feature, to quickly see where bibliographic information is still incomplete. You might think, JabRef has already an Integrity check? Well, this feature's key focus is primarily on identifying missing required fields and to providing a quick overview.
