• Epub rendering with Pandoc

  I write a LOT of documentation in Markdown for $DAYJOB. I normally use Marked2 (not free, but I paid for my license 7-8 years ago) or MacDown (free) to preview them, and to export them to PDF.

Most of these will have an "export to PDF" function built into them. Source: 5 months ago

• Looking for an oddly specific Wiki service feature. Is there one that does this?

  Is there a wiki that has a sidebar which uses some kind of expandable / collapsable folder structure that makes the taxonomy really clear? Here's an example as used in youneedawiki. I really like how clear and fast it is to see where you are in any particular knowledge branch. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Making the best of GitHub and Google Docs for a new startup

  Trying to nail down what tools we will use as a fully remote team needing to work asynchronously. We will have paid versions of GitHub (Teams) and Google Workspace for email / calendar and docs. I did look at notion, clickup but I honestly think I prefer limiting our spend on an extra tool. What I like about notion is how its got a wiki structure, and this is where G-Docs leaves us short.

• How do YOU collect your notes and thoughts before writing?

  There's an add-on to Google drive called "You Need a Wiki" that lets you build your own Wikipedia out of folders and Google Docs. The ability to add links between sites and documents makes it an excellent way to organise research and notes. Source: over 1 year ago
