Thanks! By the way: I’m very curious about your “zen markup language” in the make. Got some unfinished work in my drawers on “the best possible tool for writers”, too. Some more research, wireframes, and a few drafts on an _extensible_ mark

I maintain an inventory¹ of Markdown dialects, editors, parsers, stylesheets, etc. — basically just some lists with links. They’re in YAML, though, so you may want to add extra info (like a short description with pros/cons), and file a

And rightly so! Marked indeed is a fine 𝗠⬇ parser! How would you compare your approach to e.g. markdown-js¹, mdown-parse-pegjs², or text.js³ (which are based on PEG parsing)? I would like to elaborate a bit on the specific differences/

This is even greater! Text editors are not about code only, you know. Remember this¹? Released less than two weeks ago: Github now renders prose diffs. Why? What if Github is going for an Office (or at least a Word) replacement? Author your

Seconded. People are talking about a complete port of all the many messy pedestrian contracts of all day life, while missing out on the more practical opportunities programmable wealth has on offer in the networked digital ecosystem. Bounty

Nice updates! Alas, the service seems to broke: whatever I try to create a new note, I get “Bad Request”. Care to have a look? Much appreciated, and thanks a lot! https://github.com/chmllr/NoteHub/issues/8

Well, then we should have a better look at http://www.loxone.com/ and maybe so keep our actual real-life data out of black box data centers.

Well written comment! As for structured vs informal writing, there’s an interesting experiment by a copywriter who set up a “framework“¹ (on Github) for writing copy (like those press releases, landing page taglines, etc.). I wonder how the

What’s your opinion on using selector patterns based on the sequence/order of the elements, like: // Sass [data-UI-component="textfield"] { & > label:only-of-type, & > label:first-of-

How many people, numbers wise, do you think were discussing particle physics? Yet, there we are: the Web was devised to foster such niche discussion and make the information in there easily findable and sharable amongst researchers. It just

That begs the question: searching those documents is only possible, because someone did all of the tedious OWL/RDF/etc. markup beforehand. Basically, that’s the problem with how the semantic web is perceived generally: sprinkling

I did a PhD in art history, and I can assure you my ex-colleagues still do a lot of vetting of Renaissance painters. Their books and papers might make it to the Google Books or Google Scholar silos, one day: the findings in there, are still

I’m glad, too. Was curious about HN’s position, and hoping for some sensible opinion as regards the ideal of a Web of knowledge — and its future. But my! I’m not the author of that piece. Just submitted it to stir some discussion.

Enchanting way to put it! I’m also horrified by the mercantilist eulogy of blatant ignorance, these days. But the author of that gruesome piece has a few points: RDF, OWL, XML specs are tl;dr, too cumbersome to be of practical use, develope

Yup, that’s a great lib! But it’s plain css, though, not very customizable. Check out this port to Sass, available as a SCSS Compass ruby gem: https://github.com/Sewdn/animate.scss

That’s probably due to a known issue in pdf engines improperly handling fonts. Even Adobe’s own InDesign 4’s built-in pdf engine was plagued with that bug. [1] In the sample pdf, only the regular font gets messed up by affected pdf renderer

Great project! Congratulations! I hope you will see this through and make it into a usable typesetting solution in real-world production environments. Likely a clean, general public friendly GUI (web app) can leverage RinohType’s back-end p
