@dang can we get the link updated?
- kxra 5y ago
  Do we know why it was modified? I think hackernews stripped off the .md for some reason, but if you submit the URL with an anchor like https://write.as/hash.md#title https://write.as/hash.md#title that seems to preserve it

    It was probably submitted incorrectly, my guess
    - kxra 5y ago
      When I tried to resubmit the correct URL, it was stripped again. Does it work for you?
      - amatecha 5y ago
        didn't try myself, but looks like the URL has been corrected now! :D

If that's the case, great work in responding so quickly. > Link with md: https://write.as/n5r0vjolumdnuk2k.md https://write.as/n5r0vjolumdnuk2k.md You'd think the `.md` would be the markdown and the blank/`.html` would be the HTML? Not the other way around? Might be worth the owner of the website swapping that around afterwards.

  Maybe the idea is that you edit plain text files but then can optionally claim "this file can be parsed as X", which actually I want to say is kind of cool? Though... I guess if this were my site, to make that less confusing, I would make the plain text version .txt and then just not really have a "default" version.

For some reason that message only shows up when you're already on the .md URL. If you go to https://write.as/n5r0vjolumdnuk2k https://write.as/n5r0vjolumdnuk2k it's not there. Now at least the link here is updated, though my RSS reader had the old link.
