I've expanded the documentation for Hike (my #markdown browser/reader for the #terminal) and also moved it to its own little subdomain now:

Recently I've been making some updates and improvements to Hike, my #markdown viewer for the #terminal. I've now also started working on some proper documentation for it: https://blog.davep.org/hike/

New post of epic length: limits of #Swift #Markdown customizations

The slow but steady rise of Markdown seen through the lens of the developers of iA Writer.

I'm looking for a Markdown editor that I can use to write my blog posts. It should be nice to look at, of course support Markdown (and possibly dialects of it), offer a preview and otherwise just work well.

Linux support is necessary and it would be nice if it wasn't another Electron app.

Maybe one of you has a recommendation.

Tip of the day: Many people use #Markdown documents, citing the ability to make global edits to the formatting. In #DEVONthink, similar global edits in the formatting are possible in rich text documents as well. Here is, how that works. #notetaking #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20240521-formatting-rich-text

He hecho una prueba desde #Moshidon para escribir con #Markdown y no ha funcionado. ¿Sabéis si masto.es admite markdown? ¿Será que soy una patana y he hecho algo mal?

EDIT: Ya me han dicho que la instancia no lo admite, gracias!

"Word has layout capabilities, it’s widely understood and marketed as a word processor. Technically, it is geard towards formatting and layouting. And yet, professional journalists, professors, and even poets that don’t care much about fonts, dropcaps and margins, were forced to using it. Not because it’s the best app for writing. Because the university, the editor in chief, the book publisher offers and expects the `.docx` format." #Markdown https://ia.net/topics/markdown-and-the-slow-fade-of-the-formatting-fetish

Package Manager for Markdown

I'm working on a project that is intended to encourage folk to make markdown text files which can be bundled together in different bundles of text files using a package manager.

Question for coders; Which package manager would you suggest I use?

Main criterias (in order) are:

1. Easy for someone with basic command line skills to edit the file and update version numbers and add additional packages.

2. All being equal, more commonly and easy to setup is preferred.

I took a stab at cleaning up my code for BearExporter, a Python script to export all of your Bear notes to Markdown files you can use with Obsidian, read in the terminal, or whatever.

As the old saying goes "it works for me!" but I know it's not exactly great code, but it is available.

I'm not great at Python but I'll try to improve it as time allows.
