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

Comments

I like this a lot and will think about using it in an app I'm planning to build, but I have one quibble with something in the docs:

you wouldn’t build a web app in markdown

I'm willing to bet it's been done and has already been a Show HN. After all, there's "My blog is now generated by Google Docs"[1] currently on the front page of HN. If not then it's only a matter of time :)

Great to hear you'd consider using it. 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.

And fair, re: "you wouldn’t build a web app in markdown". I'm sure it's been done :)
