Moved onto markdown

24/08/2019

For the past few years I’ve been frequent user of the Markdown.

I like it.

There are two things in Markdown which I think great.

First, it is simple, easy for creating decent documents. Not so heavyweight as HTML for example.

Second, Markdown is a Standard, it has great adoption and represented not only in the software development areas such as documentation, chat apps such as Slack using it for reach content.

Going back to the title of the page, I’ve decided to move to Markdown as a storage format. Next decide whether it is fronted versus backend rendering. I’ve picked frontend to separate concerns. And then pick properly maintained JS library (I’ve chosen ShowdownJS).

Boom, done.
