A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn.
This is very exciting. It actually allows some fairly advanced constructs and environments but keeps its (basic) syntax at a similarly simple level such as markdown.
It even has a 'code mode' in which you can call arbitrary expressions and pass arguments just doing #myfunc(myargument:true, another: 12)
. And those are then programmed in typst
language (which I have not looked into yet). And even most basic markup is done in those so they are definitely powerful!
Basically wants to be LaTeX 2.0-ish. Does not yet have the same advanced page-orphan algorithms etc however. Can be used in quarto from 1.4 as markup language!
An academic publishing workflow with automatic doi -> citation processing and (I think?) writing in markdown then publishing as pdf/docx/html documents.
Similar to quarto in other words, but taking a bit of a different approach. Also has a sister-repository with an AI assistant for the publishing process which seems like a neat tool to try.
Zotero plugin that links your Markdown database to Zotero. Jump directly from Zotero Items to connected Markdown files. Automatically tags Zotero Items so you can easily see which papers you've made notes for
Enable rendering cricit-markup in your quarto output.
Could be really useful for a ms-word -less authoring pipeline.
A free and open-source reference guide that explains how to use Markdown.
Contains a very nice 'tools' directory with links to multitudes of markdown-compatible tools (especially interesting for people not just wanting to write md on the commandline or in vim but wanting a 'rich-text-like' experience while writing).
Contains live graphs (using jupyter kernels), or can even include full jupyter notebooks and allow you to edit them. Contains what they call 'rabbit-hole' links which allow a reader to drill down into definitions/examples/sources.
Seems pretty neat - though I would need it to be included in Quarto (thus Pandoc) to be of real use.
Amazing pandoc template for letters that will follow the German regulations (DIN 5008). Write it with markdown, compile with pandoc and latex, be happy.
Similar letter template but less German here: https://github.com/aaronwolen/pandoc-letter/tree/master
Write your notes using handwriting but be able to still use the basic features provided by a word processor: insert text (with automatic paragraph reflowing), delete text or lines, move text, undo and redo, insert links, bookmarks and a table of contents.
Seems really inventive and quite nicely designed as a proof-of-concept. I am not sure how well it would work for larger projects or over longer spans of time but definitely interesting!
Icon-font for all kinds of academic needs (pre-published, peer-reviewed, arxiv, etc). Mimics fontawesome setup but contains much fewer icons. Neat!
Command line tool for improving typing skills - can do random sampling from entries you give it, or use machine learning training sets to give you typing tasks (for a variety of programming languages as well!)
Note-taking in tree-like structures (reminds me a tiny bit of things like workflowy).
One neat thing is that it has the concept of 'global' and 'local' trees: you have one global tree on your machine (usually central place for any notes you want to add, that you can call up from wherever, a little like a wiki index or similar).
Then you can have many local trees that just live in cwd under .mind
- perfect for e.g. keeping track of a project's todos (i.e. little code projects for example)
Allows you to collaborate on RMarkdown writing through google docs. You will have to use RMarkdown syntax in google docs however, which seems even more cumbersome than plaintext integrations.
As far as I can see on the demonstration, it will also not do anything for better presentation while writing (since it isn't knitting or anything before you download from gdocs again of course). Don't know how well people would adopt this then.
A really interesting open-source (and open data friendly as far as I can see) tool for writing, publishing, sharing, exporting, and interacting on (think peer review) articles and scientific writings. Can probably also be used for other writings but that's the primary intent.
Seems really interesting, as in should delve deeper with this one. Built on W3C standards uses OpenID and other interesting tidbits.
RMarkdown for the python world, built on pandoc. This seems like an amazing alternative to the R world (though it includes support for R) and all the bookdown and blogdown alternatives.
CLI grammer checker! Uses languatool on the backend - can be done over internet or you set up your own local server. This is everything I've ever wanted.
Well, actually better vim integration would be amazing, as an lsp or some other way of 'linting' errors instead of going through them one-by-one. But one day that will happen.
Markdown GUI editor built on pandoc underneath.
Live preview and so on.
Unfortunately built on electron, but might still be useful every now and again (or for other people).
Open-source collaborative spreadsheet editing application - seems fairly mature
I go over using NeoVim and LaTeX to take notes with, but I specifically talk about talking notes with Mathematics.
Prose diffs for any document format supported by Pandoc. Can be used to compare two different pandoc documents or, much more useful to me, to convert 'track changes' changes in an office (word, libreoffice, ..) document into criticmarkup diffs.
Set it up to read from a directory of markdown files and you will have a nicely designed, fully text-searchable personal knowledge base accessible over the web
