@philip@mastodon.mallegolhansen.com@… As others have mentioned, there are a few options for reasonably well supported static site generators. Hugo, Jekyll, 11ty, Gatsby, take your pick.
Any of them will let you write in Markdown and spit out all the static files to host it somewhere.
For a fairly simple blog, the cost and complexity savings of just generating static pages feels like the ri…
@crell@phpc.socialSeriously, why has the PHPStorm/IntelliJ Markdown plugin been broken for so many years? I don't want a preview, the settings all day to just show me the editor, so it shows me only the preview for README.md, and split-screen for anything else.
WHY? HOW is a company with JetBrains' engineering prowess not able to fix this, years after I first encountered and reported it? As have many others?

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioDang it…is there a human-readable data format that is basically YAML syntax but the simple featureset of JSON (plus comments)?
I want something concise and Markdown-ish, made for human editing, like YAML, but without all of YAML’s…er, specialness.
EDIT: To be clear, this is for •primary content•, not configuration. It should •feel• like working with Markdown; it’s just that the output needs to be array-and-dict-shaped instead of HTML-shaped. (Lots of good suggestions in the replies already! TOML and KDL and are clear crowd favorites.)

@aral@mastodon.ar.alMe: I’ll just add seamless Markdown support into HTML using JavaScript template strings, how hard could it be?
Markdown: Let me just change the order of the source and link text in links. And footnotes? You hadn’t thought about how footnotes alter source order had you, chum?
@al3x@hachyderm.ioDo I know anyone using DayOne? I am curious if the application has seen any improvements in the last couple of years.
I have abandoned it 3 years ago due to “too many thin but deep paper cuts” mostly around the Markdown editor which led me to feel like the focus of the team behind it is somewhere else.
I have been using Bear meanwhile. Which has been absolutely fabulous in terms of the quality of the editor. I am missing some features in Bear that I really like & appreciate:
1) automatic location; 2) on this day; 3) show entries from location.

@lanefu@social.linux.pizzaI get bi-directional LLM guilt. I feel guilty if I don't use them to save time, and then I also feel guilty when my git history shows my carelessness that I haven't fully tested or understood what I just added.
Ex: I LLMd a prettier configuration to fix some markdown formatting stuff in Lazyvim, but then it was single quoting my ansible yaml because I accidentally added a default setting to do so .
@dwf@social.linux.pizzaLooking at the Markdown note-taking/Zettelkasten/"second brain" software space and being really put off by the almost religious fervor around it all.
I have a variety of "things I need infrequently want to note down in a place I can reliably retrieve them later" and "ongoing personal projects that get picked up and put down as bandwidth allows, for which I'd like to serialize my work".
I don't want to save every stray thought. Most of my tho…
