• 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 1 month 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 / about 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 / 2 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 / 3 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

• Bear alternatives on PC

  You might check out iA Writer. https://ia.net/ If I didn't have a Mac with access to Bear, that's probably what I'd be using. Source: 12 months ago

• I didn't realize the community has grown so much..

  Obsidian ai (a forked version of this theme is my main, I haven't released it publicly because the ui is a clone of my favourite app iaWriter https://ia.net/, and I don't think that's ethically right to share). Source: over 1 year ago

• Tools for structuring research notes and productivity/creativity

  Ia.net: looks good to build a personal wiki with hyperlinks (which is something I def want) but I fear this can get messy after a while and can loose overview easily. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How to find and remove all finished tasks [x] at once in a single txt document?

  Thanks, it works! Could you share a link to learn more about patterns and how to use them. Unfortunately I couldn't find any info on ia.net. Source: almost 2 years ago

• iA Writer's new site is up—where's the new update?

  I went to ia.net today to see if they had updated to a new site yet, and they had! Source: almost 2 years ago
