Being a researcher, Do you even need Microsoft Office, if you have markdown available?
After understanding and working with #MarkDown I have reduced reliance on publishing applications and softwares. #Linux #FreeSoftwares #OpenSource

Enjoy!

Enjoy!

Inspired by Stripe's documentation 'View as Markdown' feature, which is useful for open content access and reading structured #Markdown content into LLMs, I've added an example of this with https://Docsify-This.net 
New Kitten release 
• New: Lovely new icons¹ and new callouts in Kitten Settings²
• New: Markdown now supports attributes and bracketed spans³
• New: client-side `kitten` global with `trigger` function for triggering events on the server from the client. (Useful when streaming client-side JavaScript when using Kitten’s Streaming HTML⁴ workflow. e.g., when you have to use a client-only web API like the Clipboard API but you want to keep all your logic on your server-side page.⁵)
• Fixed: The bound render function returned by `KittenComponent` class’s `component` getter now correctly awaits asynchronous templates. (In Kitten, you don’t have to care whether your templates contain promises. Kitten handles all that for you.)
Enjoy!

⁵ e.g., See how I use this to implement a copy to clipboard button in the database page of Kitten’s Settings: https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/branch/main/web/%F0%9F%90%B1/settings%F0%9F%94%92/db/index.page.js#L33 Of course, you don’t have to use this and you can just write client-side JavaScript or use the built-in Alpine.js integration. e.g., how I do it on the (older) settings/identity page: https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/branch/main/web/%F0%9F%90%B1/settings%F0%9F%94%92/identity/index.page.js#L7
Coming soon: quite loving how much you can do in Markdown in Kitten now that I’ve added the ability to specify attributes and have bracketed spans.
Will release after I’m finished redoing the Kitten Settings pages with the new Kitten icons available at `kitten.icons`.
If you like lmno.lol and wish you had an org-capture-like way of making a quick post in a Markdown file, I made a thing:
https://gist.github.com/pdxmph/4072412b8517b5d4e2b6c6fa4595d73c
Then I made a thing that does that with any of a list or directory of Markdown files:
Gistlmno blogging capture toollmno blogging capture tool. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.
The document shown here was formed completely in plaintext—formatted and typeset from a simple .md file without ever once opening Google Docs or MS Word. 
This makes me happy because it hasn’t felt great to be so dependent on these for-profit corporate-led services in my creative expression.
oh ho hummm.
Progress.
status is: having too much fun drawing with gtk.snapshot tbh.
Do you use Obsidian for taking notes? You will like this 
**basalt** — Manage Obsidian notes directly from the terminal
Supports multiple vaults, formatting markdown & more!

@3dprinting I've written the first draft of the assembly guide for the FilaBilly Dehumidifier. It's a Markdown document. I've got a couple dozen photos that I want to insert into the instructions, and I kind of want to make it look better than Markdown. So I'm thinking about word processors. It's been years since I used one. Maybe Apple Pages?
Meanwhile, the rest of the IKEA parts are coming this week. So progress is progressing.

I was at a group this morning where folks were raving about Ulysses (the writing app). I kept trying to remember why I stopped using that, and finally searched email, and oh right, here it is. I was a user until I got this newsletter. It's the last one I have, must have unsubscribed after that.
I'd like a new #markdown app and would like to try Ulysses again, but does anyone know if they have corrected their stance here?
Demo of #Alexandria's new Contact page, coming soon.
The same #Markdown functionality will be available in our social feed (including long-form articles, calendar events, kind 1111 comments, images and video events, and #gnostr issues). No, that still isn't anywhere near as advanced as our reading viewer, based upon #Asciidoc.

@wtrmt @jwildeboer there is. I use #Zettlr (mainly for the #zettelkasten implementation) which has a great #markdown feedback logic, which helps a lot with stuff like tables or images. If you want, you can then export to html or pdf (via several compilers, among those some #LaTeX). The “extended markdown preview” extension in #VSCode also has a
nice UI of handling .md
Continued thread
In case you don’t know: when writing text in #Markdown, you add a footnote like this `my text needs this footnote[^afootnote]` and somewhere else in your text you add `[^afootnote]: And this is the footnote`. The colon is important! When this gets rendered and your markdown renderer supports footnotes, they will be converted to consecutive numbers and added as list to the end of the text. The labels will become navigation anchors. Quite cool! See https://jan.wildeboer.net/2025/04/Web-is-Broken-Botnet-Part-2/ for an example.

I have to write more #Markdown so that stuff like footnotes and block quotes come naturally without forcing me to look up again and again how stuff works ;)
Geany (Linux, Win, Mac) ist ein "unscheinbarer" Texteditor, der sich auf vielen Systemen findet, aber oft unterschätzt wird.
Schlank, flink, erweiterbar, sehr gut auf eigene Bedürfnisse anpassbar und doch aufgeräumt - es lohnt sich, mal einen näheren Blick darauf zu werfen.
