I've been teaching Claude why we favor Markdown. "We add support for Markdown editing wherever we can, because people like Markdown and they should. It makes things simple and guarantees a certain level of flexibility for their writing far beyond the standards of twitter-like systems with tiny little text boxes. If you don't really support Markdown people figure it out right away. But the character limits and stuff like that seem more technical to users. Markdown support says clearly -- you're really on the web."#
Something weird happens as you get older, you walk into a room and see a friend but at first you don't get that this is your friend. Instead you see an old man or lady. Your attention goes away because like everyone you are programmed not to look at old people. Then you instantly realize this is your friend. You put on the virtual colored glasses that let you see them as you remember them, instead of what's there today. #
- Here's a single-page site for WordPress news. #
- And here's the OPML subscription list.#
- You're free to import that OPML file into any feed reader. #
- I'd like to work with others to help get more good sources flowing through that list. The better the news delivery system, the more news sources we'll get. It's a chicken and egg thing, a bootstrap. People use Slack or Twitter to keep track of WordPress which is already a great idea-sharing network. Let's start using the tools we make to make the news we need. #
- Let's get more news sites on that list. There's a lot of news we're not getting over the web. #
- Comments, questions, suggestions here. #
- PS: I had a much longer post here earlier today, but factored it down to the basics.#
