After few years of developing Manshar, we have taken the decision to no longer developing Manshar in the open. This repo is gonna be up for tracking bugs for the hosted platform of manshar.com for reference and might be taken down in the future. All future development of manshar.com will be done in a private repo. We're greatful to have had the opportunity to work with some of you and thankful to have helped us reach where we are. Please get in touch on core@manshar.com for any questions. Here's an article (in Arabic) explaining the decision around this.
Best.
Manshar is an Arabic publishing platform that focuses mainly on content, making it beautiful and easy to read without any distractions that has nothing to do with the content.
Manshar aims at making the blogging experience for Arabic easier than ever by providing an editor that has all what a blogger needs to style and edit the article while showing them exactly how it'll look like as they're wrtiting without any need for extra preview steps.
In addition to Manshar’s mission of spreading the culture of blogging in Arabic and contributing to the Arabic content, Manshar also aims at gathering the best Arab developers around the project by making it open source and available for anybody interested to join, to spread the culture of collaborating and contributing amongst the developers community as well.
Manshar was launched by Mohammad Khatib, a Web Developer at Google, as an effort to contribute to solving the problem of lack of Arabic content online by providing better tools that makes it easier to create and consume Arabic content.
