Introducing #Hollo. Hollo is an #ActivityPub-enabled single-user microblogging software. Although it's for a single user, it also supports creating and running multiple accounts for different topics.

It's headless, meaning you can use existing #Mastodon client apps instead, with its Mastodon-compatible APIs. It has most feature parity with Mastodon. Two big differences with Mastodon is that you can use #Markdown in the content of your posts and you can quote another post.

Oh, and Hollo is built using #Bun and #Fedify.

Have you heard about Markdown but don’t really get what it’s for or how and where you could use it? In my latest ScreenCastsONLINE tutorial, I teach all the essentials of Markdown and give lots of examples of applications where it’s useful.

It would be amazing if all browsers rendered Markdown.

My websites and blogposts would just be Markdown files.

Just ssh/rsync and text files. No more static site generator.

Bliss.

(Yes, I know that Markdown is designed to look okay as-is. To geeks, it just about does. Yes, I could handwrite all the HTML. Yes, I am aware that there are multiple flavours of Markdown.)

#LibreOffice adds #Markdown support while #Mastodon still thinks about how to give us any kind of support beyond posting plain text, years after many users are begging for it ;)

#Markdown #webdev

I thought I’d share a little update on my continuous use of #logseq as a personal knowledge management tool.

I recently discovered the individual page properties feature which helps organize my notes a little better.

I still like the simplicity of the tool and the fact that all notes are stored in #markdown.

Visual graph, after a year long use, is getting better. Still pretty to look at. Maybe useful too?

Hier soir, la dernière épreuve de mon nouveau manuel #Markdown a été validée par les Presses universitaires de Liège.

J'ai donc le plaisir d'annoncer que la version Web de "L’écriture académique au format texte avec Markdown et Pandoc" est dès à présent librement acessible à l'adresse : https://e-publish.uliege.be/md2

La version print sera bientôt disponible sur le site des PUL.

On me suggère (dans l'oreillette) d'ajouter que ce livre a été créé avec une chaîne 100% numérique : rédigé en #Markdown, édité dans #PressBooks et publié dans différents formats ( #print, #pdf, #epub et #Web) grâce à la plateforme https://e-publish.uliege.be de #ULiegeLibrary

Similar to my experiments right now. But only starting on a higher level. #Requirements in #Markdown, generate the #Spec containing references to the requirements with #AI, take second AI to review it (and on my own), generate code with an AI and once again review it with another another one. Costs some #tokens, but it’s interesting.

@dumpsterqueer So many columns feels really crammed, but just tried it earlier and it works great. I love that you can use raw #Markdown to create your status updates.

So what is your tool of choice for diagramming the network? I want something maintainable and not chained to some proprietary web services. Maybe the best way is to make some #MermaidJS generator from #Markdown since both formats are plain text and supported, but I am not sure no one had this bicycle invented yet.

With Apple’s OSes 26, your Notes are no longer captive — you can export them to Markdown. In this worked example, I show how to create formatted text in iPadOS 26, how the process works to export to Markdown, and how the files and any images look in plain text editors as Markdown. It’s really cool!

Right now when I type a backtick ("`") in a #GitHub #Markdown input box in #Firefox 143.0.4 (deb packaged by Mozilla) on #Debian #Linux (Testing) in #GNOME, instead of it just being displayed as a backtick, it's being displayed as an accent on the following character.
See screenshots for what I mean.
Not happening in Chrome, or on Windows, or in text input boxes on at least one other website I tried.
Anybody else seeing this? Is it a Firefox bug or what? I'm baffled.
