If I had a nickel for every blog post I've made, I'd have TWO nickels! Which isn't a lot of nickels, but it's more nickels than I thought I'd ever have. Also my nickels come with Atom feeds, so that's exciting.
What If Your Browser Could Just Ask for Markdown?

<p>Every website you visit today sends you a pile of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — even if all you wanted was to read a blog post. Your browser downloads layout grids, tracking scripts, cookie banners, and font files before you see a single paragraph of text. For a 2000-word article, the actual content might be 12 KB. Everything around it: 2 MB.</p>
