What it does

Couscous! Put your documentation in a website!

Write your documentation in Markdown inside your repository, versioned with your code. Couscous will turn those Markdown files to HTML. couscous preview will render the website on your machine. Tweak the default template, fix some typos and the changes will be reflected in real time. couscous deploy will publish your website on the gh-pages Git branch. GitHub will automatically put it online and host it for you. Couscous is different from other static websites generators like Sculpin or Jekyll . These are generic static websites generator, sometimes meant for blogs, and using them to put documentation online is clunky. They also all require a specific directory layout which is incompatible…from couscous.io

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
