I wrote a simple Firefox extension some time ago for myself. It copies the current URL as a Markdown link, and if there's text selected, it copies that too. I use it all the time to paste links into my notes. Maybe someone will find it useful. I know there are many extensions like this, but they all seem too complicated — this one is just a single button, and doesn't require extra permissions.

I Write LikeHere is some news about I Write Like: its new feature allows you to preserve single line breaks in the preview. You can use the toggle and type your poem in a neat column without any extra Markdown. The blog post shows how it looks.
Also, I loved the poem used in the example.
Since Mastodon has RSS feeds and Calcish has feedTable() function, why not just read Mastodon in it? :)

I think physics is magic caught in formulas. These newly discovered particles were detected even though they exist for a fraction of a second. Their insides were counted, even though they cannot be seen. It all happened by smashing other tiny particles together. The only reason scientists don't wear pointed hats to work is probably because the hats can knock over the equipment.
Fossil is almost as popular as Mercurial for Go packages. Both are a drop in a bucket compared to Git. (from rsc's proposal to remove Bazaar — https://github.com/golang/go/issues/78090)
