In plain words
MDV is a Markdown-based tool that extends standard Markdown to support documentation, dashboards, and slide presentations with integrated data capabilities. It allows users to create multiple content types—from technical docs to visual dashboards and presentations—using a single Markdown syntax. The tool is designed for teams and individuals who want to streamline content creation by combining writing, data visualization, and presentation formats without switching between different tools.

From the sources
Write reports, dashboards, and slide decks in a single Markdown-native workflow, then export to self-contained HTML or PDF — no rebuilding the same content across a doc tool, a BI tool, and a deck tool. Charts, KPI cards, tables, and styled regions come from nothing more complicated than fenced code blocks and named styles. .mdv is strict CommonMark plus four additions : No selectors, no classes, no expressions, no code. Themes provide defaults, named styles give reusable looks, the renderer does the rest. --- title : Q1 Report theme : report data : sales : ./data/sales.csv --- ::: toc ::: # Q1 Results ``` stat label, value, delta Total revenue, $2.06M, +14% New customers, 1238, +8% ``` ```…from github.com

Jq-Like Tool for Markdown2025 · github.com · ▲325There have been a few times I wanted the ability to select some text out of a Markdown doc.

This can be done to some extent with regex, but those expressions are brittle and hard to read or edit later. mdq uses a familiar pipe syntax to navigate the Markdown in a structured way. It's in 0.x because I don't want to fully commit to the syntax being stable, in case real-world testing shows that the syntax needs tweaking. But I think the project is in a pretty good spot overall, and would be…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
