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.

This might be a bit of a long shot, but does anyone know the name of the #SiteGenerator (can't remember if it's a #SSG) / #CMS / #SiteBuilder that works by reading a folder with files. The files can be docx, #markdown, #HTML, image files, etc. The platform can read them all, and generates a site with pages.

I believe the platform is either freemium or paid, solo dev (or very small team). I remember browsing the site last year, but wish I could remember the name of this platform...

Whoah. The #meshtastic client supports #markdown. That’s a nice touch.

I've worked on multiples marketing websites for a client, with both @cloudcannon and @11ty, most technical parts (theme, layouts, components) being shared between all sites from one single source, and content specific to each.

It's really nice and powerful for both the developers and the content authors! 😍

I have spending time thinking of ways you could automatically create ActivityPub / ActivityStreams data from HTML and Markdown

Most people will probably write in plain UTF-8 text, or Markdown, or HTML

How to do you take that and get it onto the Fediverse and Social Web‽

This isn't just a question of how to technically do it — but also a question of user-experience (UX)

I.e., what are "good" ways of doing it‽

...

Obviously, beginners are NOT going to do this, but — some power-users may want this level of control.

There are different way this could be done, but — one way might be that power-users could use RDFa to explicitly specify what data from the HTML gets into the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams data.

Again, beginners and typical users would NOT do this.

But a power-user might want to.

Here is an example —

So, what would be a good user-experience (UX) for power-users be — in a system that automatically creates ActivityPub / ActivityStreams data from HTML and Markdown‽

One thought I had is that power-users could explicitly mark what data from their HTML gets into the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams data (if they want to).

I'll explain —

#ActivityPub#ActivityStreams#FediDev#Fediverse#Markdown #retejo#RDFa

I think one mistake some software does is — they create a good experience for beginners, but have a poor experience for power-users.

And keep in mind that — some beginners become power-users later on.

I think it is important to design for power-users, too, in addition to beginners.

If a typical user is writing in Markdown, and their Markdown file has a level-1 heading right at the beginning, then —

That could go into the ActivityPub "name" field.

And, similar could be done for HTML, too.

...

But what about power users —

2/

What are "good" ways of automatically creating ActivityPub / ActivityStreams data from HTML and Markdown‽

I think the answer depends on who, for example, is writing HTML, and how they are writing it.

For example, is this a typical user? Is this a power-user? Do they know HTML? And if they do know HTML, how well do they know it? Etc?

I will show you what I mean —

Retejo

I have been working on a new type of web-server for serving static web-sites.

I started working on it recently — on August 23rd. But, have had the idea for it for a number of years.

...

What is different about this web-server for static web-sites‽

Well, of course, it supports HTML.

But, it also supports Markdown, and ActivityPub natively!
