Terminad is a really interesting approach to rendering markdown in the CLI. It deliberately doesn't render links, so you can always see both the link text and the URL.
In a browser you have hover to see URLs, but not necessarily in a terminal.
I've been writing docs for different programming language operators (+, *, == and so on). Each one gets a separate web page.
I've suddenly realised that / is much harder! docs/+ and docs/== is fine, but docs// just doesn't work as a URL in a static site.
Any ideas?
I'm increasingly doubtful that commit messages should be entirely immutable.
I sometimes find myself editing or commenting on merged pull requests, to help future readers.
Phabricator appended a URL to commit messages, which helped. In principle PR merging could do the same thing.
