It's a nice concept, but I don't know why we don't just have decent native browser support for Markdown. And even if markdeep is necessary, it shouldn't totally fail if JavaScript is unavailable.
- flohofwoe 6y agoBecause it would be yet another baked in browser feature which needs to be standardized, with every browser vendor having their own interpretation of the standard, or deciding not to implement it all. Adding new features via Javascript (or WASM) modules instead of bloating browsers with new high-level features is the better long-term strategy IMHO. Markdeep can also be converted offline to HTML (e.g. with https://github.com/romainguy/markdeep-rasterizer https://github.com/romainguy/markdeep-rasterizer).
