@marcoarment @gruber Now that the war against menu icons has been won, can we turn our attention to sidebar selection states? Frankly, it’s been terrible since they removed the blue selection state after 10.9 Mavericks. #DeathtoDishwaterGrey

My lengthy promotional tour for Markdown continues unabated! The latest stop? Getting to join David Pierce and @gruber for this wonderful look back at markdown's history on The Vergecast. I hope you'll give it a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arjKK7fRtSA

I am like at the center of the Venn Diagram for this #Vergecast where @imdavidpierce has @gruber and @anildash as guests. I ran a Moveable Type site (inherited from a co-worker). I ran multiple Textpattern sites. And I could probably dig up email exchanges with the late Dean Allen. Thanks, guys. :) https://www.theverge.com/podcast/950082/markdown-history-gruber-vergecast

Despite all of the hype from @gruber and others re: Kagi search, I did not expect to find it materially better than DuckDuckGo. I was 100% wrong and you can take Kagi from my cold dead hands.
