• How Markdown Took over the World

  I've taken to using Markdeep [1] for this. You write your markdown file, but add the code snippet at the bottom of yor document and save it with a .md.html extension. Then when you double-click it it opens and renders in your browser. I save my notes in a Google Drive, and it's now replaced all the note taking apps I've tried over the years [1] https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

  I host the Markdeep library locally as well. Though overtime I've added some features, e.g. To make anchoring linking easier. [1] https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Rewriting my blog in plain HTML

  I cheat with my site. I write the site in markdown in an html file. I then include the link for Markdeep (https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/) Page goes to user, markdeep does all the processing and I'm good to go. The minifed java script file is about 300kb, the size of an image. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Using static websites for tiny archives

  Lots of folks mentioning Markdown in the comments. +1 to that. Plain text FTW. Ever since WordPerfect I've preferred more deterministic, lightly-formatted documents with some way to see formatting characters directly. Markdown is brilliant, basically a DSL (domain-specific language) for HTML. The key to plain text is tooling! A couple Markdown tools I haven't seen mentioned here yet (even though they've come up on... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Docs as Code

  I've been working on a personal project for what I call "semiliterate programming" ;) because I think "Write a book about your code that happens to contain all of your code" is a bridge too far for nearly everyone. So, I'm trying to find the place between Doxygen and full-blown literate programming. Encouraging disjoint prose documentation rather than parameter-by-parameter docs or chapter-by-chapter docs. Doxygen... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What is that "I didn't know I needed" tool/item until you saw it here

  It could be that I'm just one of the 10,000 some days (https://xkcd.com/1053/) but there has been a few times that I've seen an article on HN and went "Umm, I didn't know I needed that, but it fits into a niche use that I have." My last one was Markdeep in a discussion about markup languages. https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/ Or Picotron (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39786984)... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file

  I didn't see anyone mention Markdeep [0] yet. I started with a notes.txt file for the system I maintain. I found myself gradually adopting Markdown syntax because I need bulleted lists and headings to separate different sections. I also needed hyperlinks to documentation or StackOverflow answers. So one day I just added the Markdeep tags to the bottom of the file and renamed it to notes.md.html I still keep it... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Show HN: Durdraw – a modern ANSI art editor for modern Unix terminals

  Don't discount #2 there. I still make and use ASCII art when commenting source code. Flow charts! ASCII art diagrams can be automatically rendered to an image, too: https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Mathematical documents on ChromeOS?

  I started using MarkDown tools that support MathJax. As my preferred environment is as simple as possible I'm using Markdeep (https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/) and hammer and chisel (aka vi). Working well for me. Source: almost 3 years ago

• My uses for vimwiki have dried up... and it makes me a little sad

  I never tried using vim wiki because I was already using markdeep for a similar purpose. I could write markdown from the comfort of vim, then get rendering in a browser basically for free. I have toyed with the idea of creating a custom version of the vim wiki plugin which creates .md.html pages with the markdeep script code in the appropriate place. Thus allowing for the best of both worlds: fast editing in vim... Source: about 3 years ago

• Too much efficiency makes everything worse

  Yup, it's GitHub pages. It's just a private repo, so the world doesn't get to see my embarrassing edits and half written drafts. I would be happy to share a snapshot of the source code with you if you have a specific use for it though -- email me. I'm using the minima Jekyll theme. I also used Markdeep (https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/) rather than vanilla markdown to write the post. (Markdeep is awesome. It... - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago

• We Should Have Markdown Rendered Websites

  Part of the benefit of Markdown is that you can view the raw source and still get useful info out of it. But this site prerendered the Markdown and served HTML which defeats part of the purpose. A better option would be to use something like https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/ and serve the MD/HTML file. Then you can get a client-rendered HTML (https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/features.md.html) or view the raw... - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago
