Ultimately, I just wanted to make something that was closer to a plaintext file than something like org-mode, but with some small additions per my own preferences (colors, variables, auto-bulleting, etc). The side project ended up being a single-file HTML file I could throw into a browser tab, so I decided to put it up and share on GitHub :)
