   I have developed an Emacs/Org Mode package that can export subtrees or whole files to Markdown files. The front-matter stuff like title, author, tags, categories, dates gets auto-derived. These Markdown files are Hugo compatible. See

   I am not a web developer. I have been following Hugo development, and I see that a lot of new features are getting added. But if it's something that I don't care about (i18n, SASS support, archetypes update, etc) I just ignore and

    I don't like incorrect unread counts lying around. I then cannot distinguish between truly unread emails and the emails that I swiped as Done in Inbox, but still left unread in Gmail.

    It sounded like a rhetorical question, and based on the context that you use it for a lot of things, I sensed a bit on excitement there too, and thus the exclamation.. like "Isn't that awesome‽".

    Iosevka font has an awesome looking Interrobang. See https://be5invis.github.io/Iosevka/specimen.html (scroll down to the U+2030 row; ‽ is U+203d). I think that other fonts should follow that example too. Until then, a
