john-doe··on Web devs can support Ukraine with one line of HTML
This looks more useful than all the misguided attempts to block internet access to Russian users. That last sentence in red is totally uncalled for though, it’s pure nationalism, doesn’t help at all.

john-doe··on Textile Markup Language
> Does anyone actually care about the header levels (h1, h2, h3 ..) when writing text?

Anyone using a screen reader.

john-doe··on Textile Markup Language
> I don't quite follow what problem this solves.

Textile was invented around the same time as Markdown, so it tackled the same problem that Markdown tried to solve, only Markdown got more popular.

> so what's the use case?

Cover most HTML elements and edge cases, something Markdown was never supposed to do.

john-doe··on Show HN: The Brutalist Report – A rolling snapshot of the day’s headlines
This is great! May I suggest some small improvements for scannability?

ul {line-height:1.3;} ul li {padding-left:1ch;text-indent:-1ch} ul li + li {margin-top:.2em;} a:hover, a:focus {text-decoration:revert;}

Also, using <ol> lists instead of <ul> could help too.

> If Not Markdown, Then What?

Textile!

john-doe··on On the Future of 12ft
I believe txtify.it bypasses paywalls in some cases. Also, you can share the generated links.
john-doe··on On the Future of 12ft
I used 12ft for some time and got tired of loading bloated news websites twice. Archive.today is a good alternative but means making copies of crap articles somewhere else, while I just want to read them once. Ultimately I recommend txtify.it, a service that uses Readability, as a more sensible solution.
