Should I dare to do a "why #Markdown is one of the worst lightweight markup syntax languages there is"-session at a UX/UI-dominant #barcamp? 😜

C'mon, do push me over that cliff! 😆

Background: https://karl-voit.at/2017/09/23/orgmode-as-markup-only/ 👉 it's related but would be a different focus since I won't push #orgdown that much - people can be happier with other LMLs as well as long as it's not the #MD hell. (Sneak preview: I'm writing a long article on all the MD issues in order to explain it once and for all since the Mastodon discussions are really annoying to me.)

Who wants to add #Journelly to the tool page of #orgdown?

Or even assess its od support?

Of course, if you do have long-time plans for your personal #knowledgemanagement, you should not use proprietary tools like #Obsidian, #OneNote, #Evernote and alike.

You also should think of switching to a much better (learnability, portability/compatibility, typobility, logic, featureset) markup syntax like #orgdown which is used in #Emacs #Orgmode (among other tools).

But if you start with Org-mode, you need to know the right way of doing it, as so many web pages recommend. Here's my take:

A specific blog post about the #lockin effects of Obsidian and Co (despite using some tool-specific flavor of MD) is in the making. (Please don't start a religious discussion here.)

Nice #Emacs #orgmode video about its basic features:

You can use that as a #tutorial. 👍

I just finished my first version of #tootsnoop - a #Mastodon #statistics tool:

https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/tootsnoop

It shows you the x topmost boosts, favs, replies to your messages of the last y days.

Its text output format is #orgdown, the syntax of #orgmode. Perfect for #Emacs users and easy to read for the rest of us.

Have fun!

Mein Feedback zur Podcastepisode #FocusOn Linux 140 zu Org-Tools https://karl-voit.at/2024/12/22/Feedback-FocusOnLinux-Org/

With #Markdown, the original (inconsistently designed) #LML syntax format is a minimal set that made much sense when used when typing emails and so forth. Later-on, various tools needed more syntax elements for obvious reasons. Those syntax add-ons extended the original Markdown. However, they were not standardized.

This resulted in a zoo of very similar but incompatible set of Markdown flavors. Those differences cause information loss by moving from one "Markdown" tool to another "Markdown" tool because Markdown is not Markdown in most cases.

In contrast to that, #orgdown, the syntax of #Emacs #orgmode, as the one and only original form has - by far - the largest set of syntax elements and various extensions by modules. Any other adaptation of this syntax in other tools chose a real sub-set of the original syntax elements. This makes data transitions much smoother, is less error-prone and causes less data loss.
