• 2markdown – Transform Websites into Markdown

  I'll stick with using Markdownload (https://github.com/deathau/markdownload) when I need to do something like this. - Source: Hacker News / 19 days ago

• A structured note-taking app for personal use

  > Not really. Obsidian has its shares of problems too, and most of them originate from using Markdown. Aha. Which problems do you mean? > Markdown is a freeform text-format, and works very well for writing text, but it really sucks for data and structured content. Joplin is using md to. And if Joplin does a good job on "data" and "structured content" (whatever you mean by that) by separating that in their DB, it's... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• What are your second brain apps like Obsidian?

  Markdownload - (firefox) - I can use to download entire webpages into markdown - https://github.com/deathau/markdownload - sometimes it's just easier to snippet out a thing I want to keep or reference. Source: 5 months ago

• Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?

  Since I generally have no clue what technologies are popular (other than the obvious big name projects) I'll just toss out some interesting links I've recently bookmarked in comments here. - gron (Greppable JSON): https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron - Lean4 links: -- Theorem proving: https://lean-lang.org/theorem_proving_in_lean4/introduction.html -- Natural Number Game:... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Grimoire: Open-Source bookmark manager with extra features

  My perfect bookmark manager is Markdownload https://github.com/deathau/markdownload Just save the complete page, only selected text or only the link to a markdown file or Obsidian. With downloaded, linked or without pictures. My OS and Obsidian can search those files, they have more (automatically added) metadata. I can even edit them in the browser: add your... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

Zim Wiki mentions (115)

• Show HN: A Python-based static site generator using Jinja templates

  I'll slightly modify your argument; because Pure HTML does suck: Why don't people make static sites with a simple "Markdown-or-Similar to HTML" converter, CSS, and vanilla JS...etc? (This is what I do, btw -- http://zim-wiki.org + a template). - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Show HN: A directory of open source alternatives to proprietary software

  You should add Zim [1] to the "Personal Knowledge Management" section :) [1] https://zim-wiki.org. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool

  Https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ And I just tweaked the CSS and added a bit of logic to included the possibility of one image per slide; as well as editing slides not with raw HTML but with https://zim-wiki.org (because that's what I'm really used to, I'm sure any Markdown thing would work just as well). - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• The rise and fall of the standard user interface

  Absolutely; recently I realize I wish I'd never learned vim. I use too many other programs that are at least CUA-ish ( http://zim-wiki.org is the most important app I use ) and now I kind of want out. I haven't yet tried Modeless Vim, but that looks like my next experiment. https://github.com/SebastianMuskalla/ModelessVim. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Writing HTML in HTML

  It is so hard not to feel REALLY SMUG reading stuff like this, as someone who has run my own website as the working primary source for my college instruction for the past 15 years or so using https://zim-wiki.org. (before Markdown was much of a thing!) It's borderline bizarre to have watched this method of doing things kind of die out, and then also come back in the form of "static site generators" --... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
