    Textual Markdown – a Markdown “browser” in the terminal▲254

    Hi HN, This is a TUI app which displays interactive Markdown documents. Interactive in the sense that you can scroll code fences / tables / and click links. There's a Table of Contents extracted from the MD, and a very rudimentary browser like forward + back. I'm thinking it could be the starting point for a variety of hypertext like applications in the terminal. Very much a work in progress.

    I made a GitHub Flavored Markdown API▲12

    tl;dr: My first Ruby project: https://github.com/symkat/GFM-Service Something I have wanted for a long time, has been to use GitHub Flavored Markdown in projects. Since those projects haven't been Ruby, using the awesome libraries GitHub's released has been a non-started.

    Makedown – A Markdown powered Makefile alternative▲142

    `makedown` allows you to organise your shell scripts in one or several markdown files, by mix and matching different scripting languages for various commands and needs. zsh/bash/sh, python, javascript or anything else available on your system. Handy for replacing one-line-based package.json scripts or shell-based Makefiles. One can also write documentation and explanations to various commands in the same `.md` file. Most editors highlight correctly most languages in the markdown code blocks, even when you use several scripting languages. Here is a demo .md file…

    Gitcasso – Syntax Highlighting and Draft Recovery for GitHub Comments▲33
