Apple Notes in iOS 26 works better than ever with my favorite writing tool

Apple Notes gets upgraded with new features every year, and iOS 26 is no exception. Among the handful of Notes changes in iOS 26, the app now works better than ever with Markdown thanks to import and export support for my go-to writing tool. Markdown is a text formatting tool created by John Gruber and commonly used by journalists, researchers, developers, content creators, and other online writers. I personally use it every day for all my 9to5Mac writing. Gruber’s creation enables writing pla

Practical approach for streaming UI from LLMs

LLMs have enabled us to solve a new class of problems with more flexibility than ever, but as they are language models, they are inherently text powered, which has led to AI-based UI being incredibly text heavy. As someone who has been creating experiences with web technology my entire life, I’m not satisfied with so much UI being replaced with text. At Vetted, we have been building a shopping research assistant, and shopping is an inherently visual and UI heavy space. Products need to display

I Prefer RST to Markdown (2024)

July 31, 2024 Why I prefer rST to markdown I will never stop dying on this hill I just published a new version of Logic for Programmers! v0.2 has epub support, content on constraint solving and formal specification, and more! Get it here. This is my second book written with Sphinx, after the new Learn TLA+. Sphinx uses a peculiar markup called reStructured Text (rST), which has a steeper learning curve than markdown. I only switched to it after writing a couple of books in markdown and decid

Show HN: OverType – A Markdown WYSIWYG editor that's just a textarea

Hi HN! I got so frustrated with modern WYSIWYG editors that I started to play around with building my own. The problem I had was simple: I wanted a low-tech way to type styled text, but I didn't want to load a complex 500KB library, especially if I was going to initialize it dozens of times on the same page. Markdown in a plain <textarea> was the best alternative to a full WYSIWYG, but its main drawback is how ugly it looks without any formatting. I can handle it, but my clients certainly can'

The Joy of Mixing Custom Elements, Web Components, and Markdown

The Joy of Mixing Custom Elements, Web Components, and Markdown I love Markdown. I write faster and more natively in it than any other format or tool. If we zoom way out, here’s the most basic philosophy of Markdown: replace complicated stuff with simpler stuff. That’s all it does, really. It replaces some tedious nested taggy stuff with way simpler stuff that makes more visual sense and is faster to type. At its core, Markdown is really just a bunch of macros. This website runs on 6,000-ish

Hands on with Windows 11 Notepad's new markdown support

Notepad now lets you use markdown text formatting on Windows 11, which means you can write in Notepad just like you could in WordPad. The new formatting feature is turned on by default, and you just need to select one of the options in the new formatting toolbar. For example, when you highlight one of the lines in Notepad and choose your preferred heading, Notepad will instantly apply that formatting. You can use a heading, a subheading, or a body tag. That's up to you. You can also use bulle

How to Use Markdown

Whether you're posting on Reddit, Discord, or Github, there's only one way to add formatting: Markdown. If you want to add a link, bold some text, or even split text into paragraphs, you will need to know the basics of this text-based formatting system. Does that sound scary? Trust me, it’s not. Markdown has just a few rules for formatting text the way you want, and you only need to learn the rules for the formatting you actually use. Let's go over the simple rules, talk about why Markdown is
