• 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 / about 1 month 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 / 2 months 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 / 4 months 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: 8 months 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: 11 months ago

• Marp: Markdown Presentation Ecosystem

  Since everyone's sharing their implementation of "slides, but written in Markdown", here's mine: https://github.com/doersino/markdeep-slides), it's just an HTML file (and a bit of JS/CSS). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: How do you take notes when reading pdf textbooks not in your field?

  > The only disadvantage is for drawings. I don't currently have a good way to capture those. How about Markdeep? https://casual-effects.com/markdeep. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year 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 / over 1 year 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 / over 1 year ago

• hdoc — the modern documentation tool for C++ — has released version 1.3.1

  Support for Markdeep would be super awesome! Source: over 1 year ago

• Semi-Literate Programming

  But... With the goal of having more prose documentation mixed in with the source code, I wrote a tiny Python file watcher and HTTP server that scans your source dir and live-refreshes a web page whenever you save a file. In your source, you indicate Markdown comments with /*** your doc here */ and a quick regex turns the rest of the file in to bunch of ~~~ markdown code blocks ~~~ The markdown is then converted...

• Show HN: Markdown as Web Page/Site

  What about Markdeep? Astonished that none of the commenters here seem to know of its existence. See https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• ASCIIToSVG – Create beautiful SVG renderings of ASCII diagrams

  I find Markdeep[1] easier than this. [1] https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Include diagrams in your Markdown files with Mermaid

  Http://casual-effects.com/markdeep/ has had ASCII-art-as-vector-image features for quite some time now. It's in need of a good editor, though. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Best practices for writing code comments

  I’ve been working on a tool to do this based on a simple Python file watcher, web server and https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/ It just turns regular code into markdown code blocks and /** comment contents pass through to the markdown —> HTML pipeline. A little JS websocket and you get an auto-updating preview from any editor to any browser every time you ctrl-s. Not much time to work on it lately. But, I’ll... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Favorite self-rendering Markdown tool in JavaScript

  I've previously used Strapdown: http://strapdownjs.com/ From my bookmarks, there's also Markdeep: https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• How I Wrote My Book

  Very cool. I co-edit Peter Shirley's _Ray Tracing in One Weekend_ (https://raytracing.github.io/) and have taken a similar approach, though with a different toolset. At some point if I find the time, I'll write up a similar article on our approach and what we've learned. Our books are open-sourced on GitHub (https://github.com/raytracing/raytracing.github.io), and we also use GitHub to host our books. Basically,... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Monodraw: Powerful ASCII art editor designed for the Mac

  If you're interested in this, I'd encourage you to look at MarkDeep (https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/). This allows you to write Markdown-style documents, including ASCII-art diagrams, but which render beautifully in any browser with JavaScript. Using Monodraw or ASCIIFlow as the front-end editor, you can drop most results in a Markdeep document for a much nicer SVG rendering in browser. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• renewing vs. buying a new plan

  Currently the whole website comprises of ~10 totally static pages. I use git to push webpages from my machine to the webhost: basically content that I write in markdown syntax, over which a JS script runs to render nicely formatted content on the fly. (I'm mentioning this to indicate I don't have any potential migration issues - there are no CMSes, databases, etc. In the picture.). Source: almost 3 years ago
