john-doe··on Show HN: HTML/CSS Photo Sheet
Disclaimer: it’s more of an experiment than something anyone should use: browser performance might get worse when displaying too many images.

There is a tiny bit of Javascript to close the overlay with Esc, but other than that, it’s only made by (ab)using HTML and CSS.

john-doe··on Show HN: I've made a Figma plugin that converts design to HTML with TailwindCSS
The problem is not divitis but the lack of semantic elements. For example, this would be a correct way to markup the quote in the screenshot: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ci...
john-doe··on Show HN: A Chrome extension to generate markup link reference for current page
Nice, this can come in handy. What about using text fragments for the links? https://wicg.github.io/scroll-to-text-fragment/
john-doe··on Show HN: Raito – Single-File Markdown CMS
This project is basically the same concept, but it uses real #anchors so it works a little better I think: https://github.com/memowe/md-party
john-doe··on Show HN: Md2blog – A zero-config static site generator for dev blogs
If your website is only text, you could have it as a single HTML file, so “Save As…” would be enough to export it. A working example: https://cadars.github.io/portable-php
john-doe··on Show HN: SingleFile Lite, new version of SingleFile compatible with Manifest V3
Too bad really, I use SingleFile daily, I'm going to miss the webfonts embedding.
john-doe··on Org Mode Is One of the Most Reasonable Markup Languages to Use for Text (2017)
I miss Textile.
john-doe··on Show HN: I wrote a simple tool to convert Markdown to HTML
I’m using this one, it’s quite straightforward: https://euangoddard.github.io/clipboard2markdown/
john-doe··on Fuck.com (1997)

john-doe··on What do I need to read to be a CSS dev?
> Tailwind provides a functional system for putting it in practice.

Alternatively, you could write CSS to get better at CSS.

john-doe··on Show HN: Pepper – Find Low Carbon Food
This, and packaging. The app premise sounds flawed without taking these into account.
john-doe··on Show HN: Hacker News client with a twist
Mixed with keyboard tabbing, it gets really confusing.
john-doe··on Show HN: Selling Air of a day as token of time
$1000 is way too cheap. I would pay 10 times this amount to get as high on air as you are.
john-doe··on Show HN: Bypass soft paywalls with Safari reader mode
Also works with Edge’s version of reader mode, “Immersive Reader”.

For anything else, archive.today is your best friend.

john-doe··on On Building Glue Systems
> Since a glue system is about connecting many isolated pieces into a coordinated abomination (…)

Sounds like modern web development.

john-doe··on Monotype acquires Hoefler&Co
Also of interest (and quite a bad look too when you know about the usual camaraderie in the type design community) "The Hoefler Type Foundry vs. Darden, Joshua" https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/DocumentDisplayServlet...
john-doe··on Show HN: Tiny-vdom – Smallest possible virtual DOM implementation
Is it any different from https://zserge.com/posts/worst-vuejs-ever ?
john-doe··on Show HN: Paper to HTML Converter
Great initiative, HTML is the way to go!

It would be great if you could add some basic CSS rules for print? Right now navigation elements are needlessly repeated on each page, obscuring the content.

Also, you forgot to include bold and italics webfonts, so you have faux-styles for all headings and emphasis.

john-doe··on Archive.is owner on “continuity of his project”
That's my main use and sometimes feel bad about it, since I just want to see the content and not archive some mediocre article for “posterity”.
john-doe··on The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web
Incidentally, by the same author, the state of hyphenation on the web: http://clagnut.com/blog/2395

It's from 2019, but nothing much has changed since. My biggest gripe is that browsers should prevent hyphenation when a word starts with an uppercase letter, which doesn’t seem too hard?

The only bulletproof (but more complicated) solution is to process text beforehand and insert soft hyphens (­) where appropriate.

john-doe··on Show HN: PinePage– A monetization platform rooted in the value of Free Speech
Germany is pretty strict with copyrighted content in general (don't even think about torrenting a movie there). They even comply with DMCA takedown requests.
john-doe··on Show HN: PinePage– A monetization platform rooted in the value of Free Speech
> no content category is off limits as long as it doesn’t effectively break the laws of the jurisdiction under which our platform operate

You should then indicate clearly in the About page in which country your company, or servers, are located?

john-doe··on Show HN: Notes.cx – A simple, anonymous online notepad \w Markdown support
From the help page: “every note you create (anonymously) lives for 24 hours”
john-doe··on The Chernobyl Tragedy – From the Memoirs of Nikolai Ryzhkov
“I was oppressed and resented by the overt cynicism of the Western “civilized” society. Not only did they not provide material support, but they did not even express sympathy. At that time they treated us like lepers. And only individual organizations, specialists and entrepreneurs offered their help.”

Even Word documents are more accessible than PDFs.
