Hi, original author here, I just found out my old project featured here and love the thoughtful responses. If you are interested, I've been working on a new version of and on, called cobalt (https://github.com/poef/cobalt/). Hope was the proof of concept, cobalt is a more rigorous implementation. Specifically the range algebra is complete there.

It's still a hobby research project. There's a lot I've learned building and using it, about the things that HTML is good at, and what it isn't good at.

What I'm trying these days is to see if I can get a WYSIWYG editor with a user experience that comes close to the user experience of writing markdown. This isn't easy and its interesting to explore what makes that so.
