Microsoft notepad is also getting markdown support. It's a very interesting coincidence! Overall, I'm surprised to see markdown become mainstream so quickly.

- dmkolobov 1y agoQuite honestly, I’m surprised it’s taken this long. It’s been 21 years since one of their biggest evangelists wrote the format!
- LordDragonfang 1y agoIt's not a coincidence at all. Markdown is the "native" language for most LLMs, and the hype around it requires even low-level tools to support it (for both legitimate and marketing reasons)
- rk06 1y agoI wish they stopped adding feature to notepad. Or if they really wanted to, create a new app note.exe and add features to it instead.

- zombot 1y agoIf you post something even slightly outside the current hype, it's very much hit-and-miss whether it gets eyes. It also depends on day of week and time of day when it was posted. Repeated reposts used to take care of that but they've been made impossible, probably because of spam and abuse.
