Legal–Markdown-JS, Git-friendly legal docs with Markdown and helpers

In plain words

Legal-Markdown-JS is a TypeScript tool for writing legal documents in Markdown that automatically handles complex numbering schemes and cross-references. It lets lawyers write contracts with helper functions for auto-numbering, variables, conditional blocks, and imports, eliminating manual renumbering when sections change. The tool is designed for legal professionals who need to restructure documents without breaking internal references and boilerplate text. It revives functionality from an earlier Ruby gem.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN! I'm sharing legal-markdown-js, a TypeScript port of an abandoned 2011 Ruby gem that solves a surprisingly complex problem: writing legal documents that don't break when you edit them. The Problem: Legal documents have intricate numbering schemes (1.1.1, (a)(i), etc.) and cross-references. Change one section…

  HTML-to-Markdown – convert entire websites to Markdown with Golang/CLI2024 · github.com · ▲360

  Hey HN! I originally built “html-to-markdown” back in 2018 (while still in high school) to handle complex HTML conversions where other libraries struggled. Now, I’ve released v2 — a complete rewrite designed to handle even more edge cases. It supports entire websites with a high accuracy. Example use: I’ve used it in my RSS reader to strip HTML down to clean Markdown, similar to the "Reader Mode" in your Browser. It can be used as a Golang package or as an CLI. Give it a try & tell me what edge cases you encounter!

  Makedown – A Markdown powered Makefile alternative2024 · github.com · ▲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…

  Trickle - Magic Canvas ▲1,064

  Hey HN! Introducing Trickle Magic Canvas: the world’s first Agentic Canvas, where you can visually co-create apps and websites with AI, from idea to production. Why is a canvas better? Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

  Ten years of running every day, visualized▲958

  Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

  Draw a fish and watch it swim with the others▲935

  Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…

  Use Their ID – Use your local UK MP’s ID for the Online Safety Act▲862

  Hi HN - I made a site that takes a UK postcode, grabs the local MP's information and generates an AI mockup of what their ID might look like. It's a small, silly protest at the stupidity of the Online Safety Act that just came into force. edit - My open AI credits got hugged to death, please use a known postcode (like one from Kier Starmer's constituency, WC2B6NH) in the meantime.
