Thinking about making a text editor for #macOS and #Linux.

I’m quite inspired by Atom if I’m being honest. More to follow eventually.

@mrmasterkeyboard Make sure it supports Markdown 😎
@arnan I love Markdown so much.

@mrmasterkeyboard @arnan yeah. Everyone should use #Markdown.

@kkarhan @mrmasterkeyboard @arnan No, #markdown should be avoided. There are much superior markup languages.

Markdown Is a Disaster: Why and What to Do Instead

Markdown Is a Disaster: Why and What to Do Instead

@the_grue @kkarhan @mrmasterkeyboard @publicvoit Whoever wrote that article is looking for problems in Markdown or not using the idea of it correctly - But admittedly, the table and extra syntax situation is not all that good.

And personally I think the edit/preview mode stuff could be improved too.

But overall, if you use MD for what it's intended for, it works perfectly fine AND is easy to learn and write.

@arnan @the_grue @mrmasterkeyboard @publicvoit re: #tables and the like, I do propose a successor standard / superset of #Markdown I named #YADL:

Because #TSV is the superior format for #spreadsheets
