@anildash@me.dmI've been working on this one for a while. The multi-trillion-dollar AI industry? Their *most advanced platforms* are controlled by a plain text format that John Gruber made up for his blog, and then bounced off of a 17-year-old Aaron Swartz, before sharing it with the world for free. *That* is the internet. Here's the amazing (true!) story of how Markdown took over the world.
@aral@mastodon.ar.alI love how simple Kitten’s Streaming HTML workflow makes building features like this, especially when using class-based Kitten pages and components :)

@kubikpixel@chaos.socialbulletty - The TUI RSS/ATOM feed reader that lets you decide where to store your data.
bulletty is a TUI feed reader (RSS and ATOM). Read your subscriptions within your terminal. It downloads the entries for offline reading so all the data is local and yours: your subscriptions, highlights, comments, etc. All in an universal format: Markdown.

@penguin42@mastodon.org.ukOkular is a great PDF - and a lot of other format - document viewer.
It's quite happy to deal with a few thousand page PDF file; and I just learnt it can also do images, and mark down (and others).

@frankel@mastodon.topWhy I switched from #Markdown to #Asciidoc for #technicalwriting.
Markdown is good, but Asciidoc is much more! It natively handles file includes, admonitions, spans in tables, and even diagrams—…

@ellie@ellieayla.netWaiting for AsahiLinux to support Thunderbolt on Apple M1. It's listed in the docs as WIP. Folks will probably get it working eventually, we just don't know when. Isn't that an annoying thing to (remember to) check on occasionally?
The AsahiLinux docs are built from markdown files in a GitHub repo. Which exposes an Atom feed of commits affecting each file. So a feed reader can occasionally check #github #atom #rss #commits
@xiffy@mastodon.nlAlong the way I learned how to create a nice document from all the Markdown files I have written in Obsidian. With Pandoc and LaTeX stitching the chapters together as one PDF or EPUB. And of course I lost way too much time solving the last typesetting problems, reading documentation of either Pandoc or templating for Latex. It was a fun ride.
