TIL about https://listed.to/

I've been using Standard Notes for a while. It's much handier to type in your toots & posts in a nice editor, than in the puny port in the web interfaces of mastodon and other web interfaces.

I started to look for a handy solution when I began typing long posts on my Androids

  • phone interfaces suck balls when you have a tall corpus
  • touch screen keyboards suck major
  • everything is too small
  • fingers slam & flow over on other letters than touched
  • typing errors are major
  • auto correct is a must but a privacy hell (exposing everything you write to Alphabet / google)
  • It takes 10 times longer to type in a short post on a Android capacitive interface with auto correction keyboard and word suggestion enabled
  • In comes the saviour

Standard Notes is double encrypted, markdown capable, auto-synchronizes and available on all platforms you work in

  • have a browser ready with JavaScript and tls
  • Standard Notes has MFA 2FA encryption for your account
  • paid extras of the service are not needed here
  • you may enable them if you choose to thave that convenience
  • I use md editors on my machines to have previews of my markdown formatted notes
  • On Linux I use the powerful ghostwriter which uses very powerful libraries
  • pandoc version 3.1.11.1
  • cmark version 0.30.2
  • multimarkdown version 1.35
  • These tools and libs make my markdown experience incredible smooth, surpassing what Standard Notes has to offer

Today I learned about Listed when I walked down the Standard Notes preferences

  • Listed is linked to Standard Notes
  • Listed is free (as in beer)
  • You can blog you secure notes when you explicitly choose to do so
  • You have to enter your super long (64 character) password to blog a note standard remark 1
  • A key pair is generated to enable standard notes to publish that one note in your blog
  • You have to enter your password for every note you want to blog [logical since notes are per default secure and private]
  • The blogging port is timer based 60 seconds is the shortest timer
  • You have to manually update your Listed blog post
  • Listed blog posts are presented in a nice clean and fast interface on port 443
  • Listed can be configured to your own taste including your gravatar

remarks

  • Your passwords should be really long, use password managers to process them
  • make sure you have weird characters in them
  • make it a PITA to enter the passwords manually
  • use MFA 2FA everywhere you make accounts
  • There is no cloud just somebody elses server

Documentation

Introduction Welcome to ghostwriter! This quick reference guide gives examples of writing in Markdown, a plain text markup format created by John Gruber. For more information, please visit John Gruber's website at http://www.daringfireball.net. ghostwriter has built-in support for the cmark-gfm processor. However, it also can auto-detect Pandoc, MultiMarkdown, or cmark processors. Simply install any of these processors and ensure that their installation locations are added to your system's PATH environment variable. ghostwriter will auto-detect their installation on startup, and give you live HTML preview and export options accordingly.

cmark

cmark is the C reference implementation of CommonMark, a rationalized version of Markdown syntax with a spec. (For the JavaScript reference implementation, see commonmark.js.)

It provides a shared library (libcmark) with functions for parsing CommonMark documents to an abstract syntax tree (AST), manipulating the AST, and rendering the document to HTML, groff man, LaTeX, CommonMark, or an XML representation of the AST. It also provides a command-line program (cmark) for parsing and rendering CommonMark documents.

Advantages of this library:

  • Portable. The library and program are written in standard C99 and have no external dependencies. They have been tested with MSVC, gcc, tcc, and clang.
  • Fast. cmark can render a Markdown version of War and Peace in the blink of an eye (127 milliseconds on a ten year old laptop, vs. 100-400 milliseconds for an eye blink). In our benchmarks, cmark is 10,000 times faster than the original Markdown.pl, and on par with the very fastest available Markdown processors.
  • Accurate. The library passes all CommonMark conformance tests.
  • Standardized. The library can be expected to parse CommonMark the same way as any other conforming parser. So, for example, you can use commonmark.js on the client to preview content that will be rendered on the server using cmark.
  • Robust. The library has been extensively fuzz-tested using american fuzzy lop. The test suite includes pathological cases that bring many other Markdown parsers to a crawl (for example, thousands-deep nested bracketed text or block quotes).
  • Flexible. CommonMark input is parsed to an AST which can be manipulated programmatically prior to rendering.

Distraction-free text editor for Markdown

KDE Applications
Bummer. @github doesn't support rendering markdown "definition lists", because they use cmark-gfm, which is a fork of cmark, which implements Common Mark, which still hasn't added support for markdown definition lists to their specification.

Description List

Not commonly found in most implementations afaik, though I quite like the semantics and it provides an opportunity for yet-another list format… Any imps that do use <dd>, <dl> etc? Or any particular reason they’ve been avoided?

Updated Described for you by FiXato: Jon - 2, by gale galligan with a table of contents, and #pandoc's default styling and standalone HTML document wrapping.

what about #cmark, the "C reference of #CommonMark, a rationalized version of #Markdown syntax with a spec"? https://github.com/commonmark/cmark/blob/master/README.md
