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

Comments

No, but looking at it now, it's definitely an inspiring model for how to do something like this right.

I'd say the goals of Margin are similar, but more focused on thought that is specifically hierarchical in nature -- whereas ArchieML seems to be more focused on structuring text in key:value pairs (if I'm understanding it correctly).

The hope with Margin is that lots of people already store their notes, to do lists, and random thoughts in a format that might already be (or almost be) valid Margin. It's intentionally non-technical, and its syntax should make sense to those who don't know or care what Margin is.
