The Markdown Link No. 3
Links that attracted my attention recently
An occasional post from The Markown Handbook.
Among today’s links are a markdown power-editor for Bear Blog, Craft’s latest update, a distraction-free markdown notepad that auto-saves locally and a talk about McDonalds. What?
- A markdown power-editor for Bear Blog. From Recycled Words, “I wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel, just make it spin a lot smoother for people [who use Bear blog]”.
- Ever wondered how much CSS it would take to replicate the Markdown GitHub style? No? I hadn’t either. Patrick Wu shared this link on Mastodon, The minimal amount of CSS to replicate the GitHub style.
- Craft’s first update this year. As a result, the app is faster, more stable across iOS, Mac, web and Windows. Tabs have been introduced on Windows and insights around Craft Agents, the internal AI tooling that’s changed how they build Craft.
- Write.as issued an update, which allows you to peek at how your markdown will show up before publishing to your blog.
- Notchpad is a distraction-free markdown notepad that auto-saves locally. There’s no login and no cloud, just open a browser tab and start writing.
- And for AI lovers, RemNote provides notes, flashcards, PDFs and advanced AI study tools. Study tools? Don’t students use books any more? This interview with founders Martin Schneider and Moritz Wallawitsch by NessLabs goes some way to explaining all that.
- And, last, I share this link for no other reason than to brighten your day. Save it till later. Listen to the speech first, but give it time to get past the grandiosing and the fun starts. It’s by reluctant speaker Cabel Sasser, one of the founders of macOS and iOS software maker Panic, and his chosen subject is McDonalds. It normally takes a wicked sense of humour to get me laughing, but this had me in tears. See, life’s not all that bad.
