Comment on Show HN: Margin – A lightweight, flexible markup language for structured thoughtparent

Comments

This is great, thanks for sharing. I've been looking for this to create a to-do app that can save to a text format as a backup and can seamlessly be edited through the UI or text for maximum portability, so basically a UI client for modifying this type of markup plus some added features.

Great to hear! As I said to @brigandish below (and will shamelessly repeat): if when building the app you find yourself wanting to contribute to the js parser[1] in any way (or even any non javascript-based parser), it'd be much appreciated. That's my biggest need right now, is actually writing a good parser that'll encourage people to try this out.

Btw, have you seen https://treenotation.org/ ? That is the other one I was looking, but it's more abstract and you would need to construct the markup language in it first.

I see, I'll post any feedback and eventually the project I'm doing. Thanks.
