4 cool new projects to try in COPR for June 2018

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/4-cool-new-projects-to-try-in-copr-for-june-2018.png" width="876" height="475" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>COPR is a <a href="https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/">collection</a> of personal repositories for software that isn’t carried in Fedora. Some software doesn’t conform to standards that allow easy packaging. Or it may not meet other Fedora standards, despite being free and open source. COPR can offer these projects outside the Fedora set of packages. Software in COPR isn’t supported by Fedora infrastructure or signed by the project. However, it can be a neat way to try new or experimental software.</p>
<p>Here’s a set of new and interesting projects in COPR.</p>
<p><span id="more-21543"></span></p>
<h2>Ghostwriter</h2>
<p><a href="http://wereturtle.github.io/ghostwriter/">Ghostwriter</a> is a text editor for <a href="https://daringfireball.net/">Markdown</a> format with a minimal interface. It provides a preview of the document in HTML and syntax highlighting for Markdown. It offers the option to highlight only the paragraph or sentence currently being written. In addition, Ghostwriter can export documents to several formats, including PDF and HTML. Finally, it has the so-called “Hemingway” mode, in which erasing is disabled, forcing the user to write now and edit later.<img class="size-full wp-image-21547 aligncenter" src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/4-cool-new-projects-to-try-in-copr-for-june-2018.png" alt="" width="876" height="475" /></p>
<h3>Installation instructions</h3>
<p>The repo currently provides Ghostwriter for Fedora 26, 27, 28, and Rawhide, and EPEL 7. To install Ghostwriter, use these commands:</p>
<pre>sudo dnf copr enable scx/ghostwriter sudo dnf install ghostwriter</pre>
<h2>Lector</h2>
<p><a href="https://github.com/BasioMeusPuga/Lector">Lector</a> is a simple ebook reader application.
