It also made me curious about other text editors which don't require configuration, and don't tempt users to write hundreds of lines of configuration, but still offer powerful functionality.
Any recommendations for open source, opinionated, lightweight, UTF-8 supporting editors that don't break?
Watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP1xVpMPn8M about the Acme editor.
It seems so inside-out from Emacs, so opinionated and so well thought-out on the other hand. Using text itself as commands / functionality, very interesting.
Before that I was jamming with a #plaintext workflow using markdown, coteditor + terminal.app (zsh) + #pandoc after getting red-pilled by @patric. (2/8)

Are people even using something else than YAML front matter in their Markdown (or whatever) files?
Apparently there are SSGs that support HTML <meta> tag front matter, and if you're using ReStructured Text it probably does its own thing. And I bet there's at least one person on the planet building their website from ASN.1 files.

"MediaWiki has the most overwrought, over-engineered, over-complex syntax known to man. You might as well just write directly in OOXML and zip it up, along with your self-respect" (https://rldane.space/why-i-love-markdown.html by @rl_dane)
Not terribly far off-base 
(and yes, #plaintext is incredibly long-lived)
#Journelly for #iOS can potentially support #markdown. I'm still gauging if there's enough Markdown interest (please boost for reach).
Register your interest by emailing: journelly + markdown @ xenodium.com
The more requests I get, the sooner I'll get markdown out the door.
