Ice.js – For Tracking Changes in Your CMS with JavaScript

Ice is a free, but really useful track changes implementation engine, built in javascript, for anything that is contenteditable on the web. It was conceived & developed by the CMS Group at The New York Times and has been piloting successfully for articles written in their newsroom, since then.

Features of Ice

  • Track multi-user inserts and deletes with the option to turn on and off tracking or highlighting.
  • A robust API to accept and reject changes, gets clean content, and adds a lot of configuration.
  • Plugins for tinymce and wordpress.
  • Optional plugins to track copy-cut-pasting, convert smart quotes, and create em-dashes.

Do Check out the Demo here. 

Ice is available on GitHub with a GPL License.
