Was helping someone with whatever I can to set up go platform. One of the things I feel sorely missing is a Go Blog authoring tool. One where the author can write in prose and set up SGFs

In China there are blogs on Go but the real issue is that the goban sequences are NOT interactive.

See 【胡耀宇】申旻埈白84到底是不是好棋?-腾讯野狐围棋 https://www.foxwq.com/news/11484.html

This make it hard to follow and is a friction to enjoyment!

So we found something like https://prosemirror.net/ which is customizable editor I suspect we can add SGF editing ability to it. But we lack the technical know-how. I wonder if there are technically incline people here who can help out create such a Go blog author tool.

Please DM me or reply if you can help out.

If all you need is displaying interactive diagrams based on SGFs, you already have a huge number of options for simple Javascript-based embeddable widgets like EidoGo (what this forum uses), jgoboard, or many others. They should be very easy to integrate with any blogging engine that lets you embed Javascript.

If you want your authors to actually edit the SGFs directly in the blog engine, that's probably a more complicated project (although it would still use one of those frameworks I mentioned above as a foundation). But it also seems unnecessary to me; I suspect authors would prefer to do their SGF editing in a full-featured desktop client and just paste the SGF in.

Does that answer your question, or am I missing something?

Yeah Thanks. I just have to solve the issue of displaying a tree in a flow. Perhaps some kind of SGF processsor would do the trick. Thanks.

BTW I found this https://godokoro.net/en/ which is exactly the effect I want to achieve. Shame that it looks like it isn't being developed.

I have to disagree here. As a poster, I would really welcome the ability to add variations and commentary directly in L19. For OP's it may be more comfortable to work offline. However, when responding to a post, downloading the sgf, editing it, and then uploading it again is a lot more work. This is complicated by the cases where the download fails because the embedded sgf text is too long!

The problem that I would see is that we would not want posters to edit the original sgf, but we would like the ability to copy the file within a new post and edit it directly on screen.

I'm not a software creator, so this comes from a user perspective. There's another reason why I'm not often downloading and uploading edited sgf files and rather edit go diagrams in the format L19 and Sensei's Library foster: having an immediate, visual starting point. In SGF you have to make the reader jump to the position, or you'd have to convert the previous moves into stones.

SL had a kind of a first stab at a solution, with its embedded links, but it was still heavy on the WIKI-editor.

So, on top of editing an SGF online, I'd like to have a conversion step to "start at move x"

BTW - I don't know if people still remember this great function of SL, which I use for L19 too:

I think that on a blog, you don't really want to be working with the sgf format. It's just not particularly sweet to use it for creating diagrams.
