I’d love to see Markdown added to Apple Messages.
I’m constantly sending URLs to people, like https://somesite.com/login https://somesite.com/login. The point of these links is usually that people read them and understand them.
But the automatic behavior is to replace the text with OpenGraph links, big obnoxious bubbles of graphics, which distort or destroy the meaning that I’m trying to convey.
Given the opportunity, I would send most links wrapped in `backticks`.
- enlightens 1y agoFor those who don't know, you can tap on the link preview graphic and select "Convert to Text Link" to switch back to clickable text. As you mention there's no way to change the automatic behavior but at least it is possible to switch back to text links on a case-by-case basis.

- layer8 1y agoInstead of Markdown, add support for editing links with text, like word processors have.
- RS-232 1y agoIt would be awesome if Messages, Mail, and Notes rendered Markdown. System-wide Markdown editing would also be awesome, perhaps as a feature of the keyboard.
- kstrauser 1y agoI hacked up something like this for Apple Notes. It’s far from perfect, but at least it lets me type Markdown-style punctuation and get the expect results. Think of it like a crummy Vim mode sort of thing. https://honeypot.net/2024/01/17/making-notes-look.html https://honeypot.net/2024/01/17/making-notes-look.html
- alwillis 1y agoIf you want a Mac email program that renders Markdown, definitely checkout MailMate[1]. Indie developer, has already shipped a lot of updates this year. [1]: https://freron.com https://freron.com

- kgilpin 1y agoInterestingly (to me) the SwiftUI Text element supports Markdown natively via AttributedString.
- alisadev 1y agoI just do this: <yourlink.com> and it sends it as a regular link without the bubble
